Using the Moji Gumi (Japanese layout rules) option

The Moji Gumi option in the Character palette lets you specify the amount of spacing placed between CJK characters and punctuation, or between Roman characters and CJK characters. By changing the percentage of space between different types of characters, the Moji Gumi option eliminates spacing problems that can arise when using a mixture of these characters in a single file.

When the Moji Gumi option is used with the Tsume option, proportional spacing is applied first, followed by the Japanese layout rules.

To specify Japanese layout rules:

1. Select the text to which you want to apply layout rules.
2. If the multilingual options are not visible in the Character palette, choose Show Multilingual from the palette menu.
3. Select the Moji Gumi option.
4. To change the spacing between CJK characters and punctuation marks (such as parentheses) in the text, enter a spacing percentage, from 0% to 200%, in the CJK/CJK text box.

A value of 100% is standard spacing, a value of 0% eliminates the extra space between characters, and a value of 200% doubles the standard spacing.


Text with CJK/CJK setting of 0% compared to text with CJK/ text setting of 200%.
5. To change the spacing between CJK characters and Roman characters, enter a spacing percentage, from 0% to 200%, in the CJK/Roman text box.

Text with CJK/Roman setting of 0% compared to text with CJK/Roman setting of 200%.
