Kerning automatically
To automatically kern text above a specific point size, display the Character
pane of the Preferences dialog box , check Auto Kern Above, and enter a value in
the field.
QuarkXPress uses kerning information that is built into the font (the font’s
kerning table). A kerning table contains a number of character pairs — “Ta,” for
example — and an associated kerning value for each pair in the table. You can’t
change a font’s kerning table, but you can create a custom kerning table for any
font using the Kerning pairs dialog box (Edit menu). You can use this dialog box
to customize both horizontal (With-Stream) and vertical (Cross-Stream) space
in kerning pairs.
You can create your own kerning tables in QuarkXPress.
Controlling hyphenation and justification
A hyphenation and justification (H&J) specification is a named package of
settings for hyphenating words that go over the margin of a line of text and for
justifying spaces between words and characters. You can apply H&Js to
individual paragraphs, or you can associate an H&J with a paragraph style
sheet. Use the Edit Hyphenation & Justification dialog box (Edit > H&Js > New)
to control these settings.
