adjusted value 0.60. Therefore those two text passages are recognized as not belonging
together.
l
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 char-
acter width is multiplied with. The value for the mean character width is taken from the cor-
responding 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.
l
Vertical distance: Indicates the biggest acceptable vertical distance between two text pas-
sages 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 recog-
nized as belonging together.
