• (Mac OS X only) Check the Keep Half-Width Characters Upright box on the

Character tab of the Measurements palette.

Counting characters

The Character Count dialog box (Utilities menu) displays the number of full-width,

half-width, Bopomofo, Hangul, Kana, and Han characters used in the active story. It

also displays the number of symbols and private use characters in the selected story.

Working with font sets

Font sets let you control how different types of characters — such as Alphabetic

(Roman) and Han characters — display when they occur together in text.

You can create a new font set in the Edit Font Set dialog box (Edit > Font Sets). Each

font set is composed of a set of font types, each of which has its own settings.

Use the Edit Font Set dialog box to configure a font set.

For each type in a font set, you can control the following:

• Font: Specify a font for each type of character group.

• Relative Size: Specify the relative size of each font based on the font size used in

the layout. For example, if the font size in your layout is 12 points, and you specify

a relative setting of 200%, the font displays at 24 points.

• Baseline Shift: Specify a value to raise or lower the font from its baseline.

• Scale Direction: Specify whether the font is scaled horizontally or vertically.

• Scale Amount: Specify the amount of horizontal or vertical scaling.

The Sample Text area of the dialog box displays sample text that uses each of the

fonts in the font set.

You can apply a font set to text in the same way that you apply a font to text. Simply

select the text and choose a font set from the font drop-down menu in the

Measurements palette. Font sets display at the top of the list.
