The strictness level feature is only supported by Dieckmann hyphenation
libraries (Extended 2 hyphenation method). In QuarkXPress 2017 and earlier,
some languages like US English and International English did not support
Dieckmann hyphenation libraries. From QuarkXPress 2018 onwards, all
languages have support for Dieckmann hyphenation libraries (Extended 2
hyphenation method). When opening a project created in QuarkXPress 2017 or
earlier, an informative icon will be displayed in the Edit Hyphenation &
Justification dialog indicating that the Strictness Level feature is only supported
for the Extended 2 hyphenation method. Users are required to enable the
Extended 2 hyphenation method in Preferences (Preferences > Paragraph >
Hyphenation Method) to enable applying Hyphenation strictness levels to a
legacy document.
XTension developer created hyphenation libraries will continue to be supported
for QuarkXPress.
Preferences — Layout — Character
Use the Sharing pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
set the default options for new shared content. Use the Character pane of the
Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify how QuarkXPress
constructs typographic styles such as Superscript and Subscript:
Use the Superscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of ●
superscript characters. The Offset value determines how far below the
baseline QuarkXPress places a superscript character. The Offset value is
measured as a percentage of font size. The default value is 33%. The VScale
value determines the vertical size of the character and is a percentage of
font size. The HScale value determines width and is a percentage of the
normal character width (as specified by the font designer). The default value
for both scales is 60% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement system =
percentage, smallest increment = .1).
Use the Subscript area to control the placement and scale (size) of subscript ●
characters. The Offset value determines how far above the baseline
QuarkXPress places a subscript character. The Offset value is measured as a
percentage of font size. The default value is 33%. The VScale value
determines the vertical size of the character and is a percentage of font size.
The HScale value determines width and is a percentage of the normal
character width (as specified by the font designer). The default value for both
scales is 100% (range = 0 to 100%, measurement system = percentage,
smallest increment = .1).
Use the Small Caps area to control the scale of characters with the Small ●
Caps type style applied to them. The VScale value determines the vertical
size of the character and is measured as a percentage of font size. The
HScale value determines width and is measured as a percentage of the
