kerning
float Also known as pair kerning, kerning
specifies the percentage of an em square
by which to separate two characters, in
addition to the amount the font specifies.
Applies to only one pair or characters. To
specify kerning for a range of text, use the
rangeKerning property.
0 — normal kerning
< 0 — move the two characters closer
together
> 0 — move the two characters farther apart
leading
float The spacing between two lines of text,
measured from baseline to baseline. Larger
numbers place more space between lines
of text. Smaller numbers move the lines
closer together. The exact effect of this
property number depends on the value of
the
leadingMode property.
leadingMode
string The only acceptable value is "percentage",
which specifies that the
leading property is
a percentage of the text’s point size. A
leading property of 1.0 means 100 percent
or single-spaced,
2.0 means 200 percent
or double-spaced, and so on.
rangeKerning
float The same as the kerning property, but
applies to a range of text, not only two
characters.
size
string String of the form "#pt", where # is a
numeric value.
underline
Boolean Set to true for underlined text, false for
normal text.
