Align text of different sizes
You can specify how to align text to the largest characters in a line using the Character Alignment option, when positioning characters of different
sizes in 1 line. It is possible to align characters to the top, center or bottom of the embox (right, center, and left for vertical frames), to the roman
baseline, and to the top or bottom of the ICF box (right or left for vertical frames). ICF (Ideographic Character Face) is the average height and
width used by the font designer to design the ideographic characters which comprise a font.
Align different sizes
A. Align different size letters above full space letters B. Align different size letters in the middle of full space letters C. Align different size letters

The Character Alignment option is not effective, even if applied, when all characters are the same size in a line.
1. Select a range of text or lines for the characters you want to align, or select a text frame using the selection tool.
2. Choose one of the following options from Character Alignment in the Character panel menu or Control panel menu.
