• 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.
For 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.
For more information about the differencebetween characters and glyphs, see "Working
with the Glyphs palette."
Creating and editing mojigumi character classes
A mojigumi character class is a named set of punctuation characters that is designed to be
