If you select a hanging character set in the center pane of the dialog box, the
lower pane displays the hanging character classes that belong to that set. If you
select a class in the center pane of the dialog box, the lower pane displays the
sets to which the selected class belongs and the attributes of the selected
class.
To compare hanging character sets or classes, select two classes or sets in
the Hanging Characters dialog box and press Option/Alt. The Append button
changes to Compare.
Creating hanging character classes
Use the Edit Hanging Character Class dialog box (Edit > Hanging Characters >
New > Class) to specify the characters to be included in a hanging character
class, the hang percentage of the class, and whether the class is leading or
trailing.
The Edit Hanging Character Class dialog box
Enter characters in the Characters pane. Then choose a percentage from the
Hang drop-down menu. The hang percentage specifies what percentage of the
glyph width should always hang over the margin or what percentage of the
glyph width should always indent. For example, if you choose –50%, the
characters in the character class indent inside of the margin by half of their
glyph width. If you choose 100%, the characters in the character class hang
outside of the margin by their full glyph width.
