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. 
