Set Asian OpenType font attributes

Asian OpenType fonts may include a number of features that aren’t available in current PostScript and TrueType fonts. In addition, Asian OpenType fonts provide alternate glyphs for many characters.

  1. Select the characters or type objects to which you want to apply the setting. If you don’t select any text, the setting applies to new text you create.
  2. Make sure that an OpenType font is selected.

    Look in the Type > Font menu; OpenType fonts display the  icon.

  3. In the OpenType panel, set any of the following options:
    Proportional Metrics
    Kerning is according to the proportional metrics of the font.

    H or V Style
    Switches hiragana fonts, which have different glyphs for horizontal and vertical such as contracted sounds, double consonants, and phonetic indexes.

    Roman Italics
    Changes half-width alphanumerics to italics.
