TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
156 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2018
Width - Define the desired width of the stroke as an absolute value (up to 500•
pt). You can also define the width as a percentage of the text. The width of the
stroke will then be dependent on the font size and increase/decrease
proportionally if you change the font size. A percentage value must be between
0 and 50%.
Join - Select the type of join to specify the appearance of the stroke at corner•
points that extend beyond the end points of the text.
Miter Join : Creates a pointed corner which extends beyond the endpoint•
when the miter’s length is within the miter limit. The Miter Limit field will
only be available for a Miter Join. The value of the Miter Limit field can be
1 to 255.
Round Join : Creates rounded corners which extend half the stroke width•
beyond the endpoint.
Bevel Join : Creates squared corners which abut the endpoints.•
Miter Limit - For a Miter Join, choose the Miter Limit from the drop-down•
menu.
Check No Fill to change the color of the text to no color. This selection is only•
available if the width of the text stroke is > 0.
Controlling half-width characters
To keep half-width characters (such as Roman characters) horizontal in a vertical
story, check the Keep Half-Width Characters Upright box on the Character tab of
the Measurements palette.
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.
