Composite font categories
Fonts are classified in the following categories:
Kanji (or Hangul) Kanji characters are used in Japanese and Chinese. Hangul characters are used in Korean. You cannot
edit the size, baseline, vertical scale, or horizontal scale for kanji or hangul.
Kana Specifies fonts used for hiragana and katakana. When you are making composite fonts using a language other
than Japanese, use the same font for Kana as you use in your base font.
Punctuation Specifies the font used for punctuation. You cannot edit the size, vertical scale, or horizontal scale for
punctuation.
Full Width Symbols Specifies the font used for symbols. You cannot edit the size, vertical scale, or horizontal scale for
symbols.
Roman Specifies the font used for half-width roman characters. This is normally a roman font.
Numbers Specifies the font used for half-width numbers. This is normally a roman font.
The font attributes that can be set for composite fonts are as follows:
Units Select the units for font attribute settings.
Size Set the size in relation to the font size used for input. The size may differ for different fonts, even when the same
font size is used. You can adjust the size, depending on the fonts used in the composite font.
Baseline Set a baseline for each font.
Vertical scale and horizontal scale Scale the font vertically and horizontally. You can only use these settings for kana,
half-width roman characters, and numbers.
Enlarge/Shrink from Center of Character Set whether to scale from the center of the character or the roman baseline,
when editing vertical and horizontal scales for kana. If you select this option, the characters will be scaled from the
center.
