Set Asian OpenType font attributes
Asian OpenType fonts may include a number of features that aren’t available in current PostScript and TrueType fonts.
In addition, Asian OpenType fonts provide alternate glyphs for many characters.
1 Select the characters or type objects to which you want to apply the setting. If you don’t select any text, the setting
applies to new text you create.
2 Make sure that an OpenType font is selected.
Look in the Type > Font menu; OpenType fonts display the icon.
3 In the OpenType panel, set any of the following options:
Proportional Metrics Kerning is according to the proportional metrics of the font.
H or V Style Switches hiragana fonts, which have different glyphs for horizontal and vertical such as contracted
sounds, double consonants, and phonetic indexes.
Roman Italics Changes half-width alphanumerics to italics.
Replace Asian characters with a different glyph form
1 Select the characters you want to replace.
