Proportional Lining

Full-height figures with varying widths are provided. This option is recommended for text that

uses all caps.

Tabular Oldstyle

Varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths are provided. This option is recommended when you

want the classic appearance of old-style figures, but you need them to align in columns, as in an annual report.

Default Figure Style

Figure glyphs use the default figure style of the current font.

Use Proportional Metrics

Characters are composed using the proportional metrics of the font.

Use H or V Kana

For fonts that include Kana for vertical or horizontal writing, Kana glyphs most appropriate for

horizontal or vertical settings are provided.

Roman Italics

If the font contains italic glyphs, the proportional Roman glyph switches to italic type.

Composite fonts

In InDesign, you can mix parts of different fonts and use them as a composite font in InDesign or Adobe InCopy®.
Normally this technique is used to mix parts of a roman font and a CJK font. Composite fonts that you’ve created in
InDesign are displayed at the beginning of the font list in InCopy. You can apply these fonts to text, but you cannot
create or edit composite fonts in InCopy. For details, see InDesign Help.
