A Mojigumi character class is a named set of punctuation characters that should
always be spaced in a particular way.
A Mojigumi set is a set of character spacing specifications based on the widths of
character em boxes. For example, a mojigumi set might dictate that open
punctuation should use fixed half-width spacing when it occurs at the beginning
of a line, and that close punctuation should use full-width or half-width spacing
when it occurs at the end of a line. Each Mojigumi set is associated with one
mojigumi character class.
To use the Mojigumi feature, apply a mojigumi set to a paragraph. The Mojigumi
set’s settings are applied to the characters in the associated mojigumi character class.
F
or example, if you do not want a parenthesis to occupy a full em-box width when
it occurs between two full-width characters, you can create a Mojigumi character
class that contains parentheses and then specify in the Mojigumi set settings that
these characters should always use a half-em width when they fall between two full
em-width characters.
Only one Mojigumi set can be applied to each paragraph.
