Asian text processing
A section has been added to the MIF Reference to describe the new MIF statements that were added for Asian text
in a document. See , “MIF Asian Text Processing Statements.” for more information.
MIF file layout
A MIF file can now include a CombinedFontCatalog statement that contains CombinedFontDefn statements to
define each combined font for the document. The
CombinedFontCatalog statement must occur before the
Document statement. For information about combined fonts, see “Combined Fonts” on page 203.
Control statements
A new control statement, CharUnits, has been added to express whether characters and line spacing is measured by
points or by Q (the standard units of measurement for Japanese typography). The keywords for this statement are
CUpt and CUQ.
Document statements
The DPageNumStyle and DFNoteNumStyle statements have new keywords to express Japanese footnote numbering
formats. The new keywords are
ZenLCAlpha, ZenUCAlpha, KanjiNumeric, KanjiKazu, and BusinessKazu.
DTrapwiseCompatibility is a new statement that determines whether generated PostScript will be optimized for
the TrapWise application.
DSuperscriptStretch, DSubscriptStretch, and DSmallCapsStretch are new statements that specify the
amount to stretch or compress superscript, subscript, or small caps text.
Color statements
MIF 5.5 now supports a number of color libraries. In the Color statement, the ColorPantoneValue statement is no
longer used. Instead,
ColorFamilyName specifies the color library to use, and ColorInkName identifies the specific
pigment. Note that the full name must be provided for
ColorInkName.
The
Color statement can also express a tint as a percentage of a base color. ColorTintPercentage specifies the
percentage, and
ColorTintBaseColor specifies the base color to use.
ColorOverprint is a new statement that assigns overprinting to the color. If a graphic object has no overprint
statement in it, the overprint setting for that object’s color is assumed.
Paragraph and Character statements
In version 5.5, the PgfFont and Font statements can now include the FLanguage statement to define a language for
a range of text within a paragraph.
The PgfFont and Font statements include statements to describe combined fonts. For information on combined
fonts, see “Combined Fonts” on page 203.
The PgfFont and Font statements include a new
FEncoding statement to specify the encoding used for the font. The
keywords for this statement are:
JISX0208.ShiftJIS, BIG5, GB2312-80.EUC, or KSC5601-1992.
FStretch
is a new statement to define the amount to stretch or compress a range of characters.
