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).
Specifying story direction
You can position text so that it runs left-to-right and top-to-bottom or top-to-bottom
and right-to-left. To specify a story direction, choose Style > Story Direction, and
then choose Horizontal or Vertical.
Working with grouped characters
Use the Group Characters dialog box (Style menu) to include a group of horizontal
characters, such as Roman characters, within a vertical line of text. Grouped characters
always display horizontally and do not break at the end of a line. To group selected
characters:
1
Choose Style > Group Characters.
2
Choose Vertical or Horizontal from the Scale drop-down menu and enter a percentage
in the field to the right of the Scale drop-down menu.
3
If you want to change the character spacing, enter a value in the Track/Sending
Amount field.
4
Click OK.
Working with rubi text
Rubi text clarifies the meaning or pronunciation of base text. Base text can run vertically
or horizontally, and rubi text usually follows the direction of the base text. Rubi text
can be placed to the right of or to the left of base text in a vertical story, and above or
below base text in a horizontal story.
The left position in a vertical story and the below position in a horizontal story are
rendered correctly only when the box is exported as a graphic.
You can manipulate the alignment, placement, scale, font, color, opacity, shade, type
style, and relative size of rubi text. In addition, you can choose from several options
that allow you to control rubi text that overhangs unrelated base text.
Some of these features are available only when the box is exported as a graphic.
Use the Rubi dialog box (Style menu) , the Home/Character Attributes tab of the
Measurements palette or a contextual menu to add rubi text to selected base text.
