b Memo:
• The heights and widths specified for the
Base Line , Capital Line and Set Lines are
the reference mask for creating the font
character.
• When characters created with Font Creator
are imported into Layout & Editing, the
width and height of the characters will be in
the following area.
• Character height: from Base Line (A) to
Capital Line (B)
• Character width: from Set Line (F) to
Set Line (G)
• In order to align the height of the characters,
the
Ascender Line , Mean Line and
Descender Line appear the same with all
characters. Therefore, if the height of any of
these lines is changed, the setting is
maintained, even when a different character
is selected to be edited.
• The widths of the
Set Lines can be set
separately for each character.
