Inserting spaces
To insert a specific type of space — such as an em space — at the text insertion
point, choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Em Space or Utilities >
Insert Character > Special (nonbreaking) > Em Space. The options in the
Nonbreaking Space submenu act as “glue” between two words or numbers, for
example, preventing breaks from occurring between the two “glued” elements at
the end of a line.
Inserting other special characters
To insert a special character other than a space — such as an em dash or a
current page number placeholder character — at the text insertion point, choose
Utilities > Insert Character > Special or Utilities > Insert Character > Special
(nonbreaking).
Special characters (breaking and non breaking) can be searched for using
the Find/Change palette, see “Finding and changing text”.
Specifying character language
You can specify the language to be used for hyphenation and spell checking by
applying a character language to text. This lets you mix words from different
languages in the same paragraph without triggering poor hyphenation or more
Suspect Words in Spell Check (Utilities menu). In addition to applying a specific
language to characters, you can apply None so that a word is not considered for
hyphenation or spell checking.
To apply a language to selected characters, use the Language drop-down menu
in the Character tab of the Measurements palette.
Using font fallback
When Font Fallback is on, if the application encounters a character that is not
available in the current font, it searches through the active fonts on your system
to find a font that does include that character. For example, if Helvetica is
applied at the text insertion point and you import or paste text containing a Kanji
character, the application might apply the Hiragino font to that character. If the
application cannot find an active font that contains the character, the character
still displays as a box or symbol.
Font Fallback is implemented as an application preference, meaning that the
feature is either on or off for your copy of the program. The feature is on by
default, but if you need to turn it off, uncheck Font Fallback in the Font Fallback
pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences).
