• Choose Standard to hyphenate using the algorithm built into versions of
QuarkXPress prior to 3.1.
• The Enhanced and the Extended, 3.3 Compatible options are only available
if any legacy project having any of these hyphenation methods applied for
any language is opened in QuarkXPress 2017. This option is not available
for new projects.
• Extended 2 uses the Dieckmann exception resources and algorithm for
hyphenation. If available for a language, it is the default method for projects
created in QuarkXPress.
Preferences — Layout — Character
Use the Sharing pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to set
the default options for new shared content. Use the Character pane of the Preferences
dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify how QuarkXPress constructs
typographic styles such as Superscript and Subscript:
• Use the Superscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of superscript
characters. The Offset value determines how far below the baseline QuarkXPress
places a superscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of
font size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size
of the character and is a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines
width and is a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Subscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of subscript
characters. The Offset value determines how far above the baseline QuarkXPress
places a subscript character. The Offset value is measured as a percentage of font
size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value determines the vertical size of
the character and is a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines width
and is a percentage of the normal character width (as specified by the font
designer). The default value for both scales is 100% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Small Caps area to control the scale of characters with the Small Caps
type style applied to them. The VScale value determines the vertical size of the
character and is measured as a percentage of font size. The HScale value determines
width and is measured as a percentage of the normal character width (as specified
by the font designer). The default value for both scales is 75% (range = 0 to 100%,
measurement system = percentage, smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Superior area to control the scale of superior characters. The VScale value
determines the vertical size of the character and is measured as a percentage of
font size. The HScale value determines width and is measured as a percentage of
the normal character width (as specified by the font designer). The default value
for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement system = percentage,
smallest increment = .1).
• Use the Ligatures area to use ligatures built into a font. A ligature is a typographic
convention in which certain characters are combined into a single glyph. Most
fonts contain ligatures for the characters "f" followed by "I" and "f" followed by
