TextRuns object
The following table lists the properties of the TextRuns object, along with their data types and,
where appropriate, acceptable values and notes.
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.
