Font size difference: Indicates the smallest acceptable factor between minimum and maximum font size
within one line. A value of 0.60 means that with a ratio from minimum to maximum font size (in points), that
is less than 0.60, two text passages are not recognized as belonging together. For example, if two text
passages are formatted with different font sizes. Passage 1 with 10, passage 2 with 18 point. The ratio 0.56 is
smaller than the adjusted value 0.60. Therefore those two text passages are recognized as not belonging
together.
Word distance: Indicates the largest acceptable distance between two text passages, so that they are still
recognized as belonging together. This the factor the font's mean character width is multiplied with. The value
for the mean character width is taken from the corresponding font's attributes (for texts which are printed
justified, it is suggested to raise this value up to about 2). For example, if the mean character width of the
font example shown here corresponds to the width of the blank character (for other fonts it may be another
sign). There is another text passage found whose horizontal distance is even bigger than the first one's mean
character width, multiplied by factor 1.0. The two text passages are found to not belong together.
Vertical distance: Indicates the biggest acceptable vertical distance between two text passages so that
they're still recognized as belonging together. This is the factor the font's height and size is multiplied with.
The value for the font's height therefore is taken from the corresponding font's attributes. For example, if the
height of that font example in 10 point size is 0.32 cm. There is a passage found that is positioned 0.15 cm
above - which means 0.15/0.31 = 0.48 < 0.50 - the previous text passage. So the two passages are not
recognized as belonging together.
