Asian text options


    The Character palette includes several options for formatting Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters (also known as double-byte characters). You can toggle the display of these options within the palette by choosing Show Asian Text Options from the Character Palette menu. (The Character Palette menu contains additional options for Asian text. See Options in the Character Palette menu. To apply the Asian text options, see Selecting and formatting text.)

    Tsume

    Reduces the space around a character by the specified percentage. Adobe Encore DVD reduces the spacing around both sides of the character equally. The greater the percentage, the tighter the compression between characters. At 100% (the maximum value), there is no space between the character's bounding box and its em box.

    Kinsoku Shori

    Determines line breaks in Japanese type. Characters that cannot begin a line or end a line are known as kinsoku characters. Adobe Encore DVD includes weak and maximum kinsoku sets. The option None turns off the use of kinsoku shori. The options JIS Weak or JIS Maximum prevent the following characters from beginning or ending a line:

    Mojikumi

    Determines spacing between punctuation, symbols, numbers, and other character classes in Japanese type. Adobe Encore DVD includes several predefined mojikumi sets.

    • Mojikumi Set 1 uses half-width spacing for punctuation.
    • Mojikumi Set 2 uses full-width spacing for all characters except the last character in the line.
    • Mojikumi Set 3 uses half-width spacing for punctuation, but uses full-width spacing for the last character in the line.
    • Mojikumi Set 4 uses full-width spacing for all characters.
