Specify how leading is measured in Asian type
1
Select the paragraphs you want to adjust.
2
Choose a leading option from the Paragraph panel menu.
Top-to-top Leading
Measures the spacing between lines of type from the top of one line to the top of the next line.
When you use top-to-top leading, the first line of type in a paragraph is aligned flush with the top of the bounding box.
Bottom-to-bottom Leading
For horizontal type, measures the space between lines of type from the type baseline.
When you use bottom-to-bottom leading, space appears between the first line of type and the bounding box. A check
mark indicates which option is selected.
Note: The leading option you choose does not affect the amount of leading between lines, only how the leading is
measured.
Rotate half-width characters in vertical text
The direction of half-width characters, such as roman text or numbers, changes in vertical text. By default, half-width
characters are rotated individually.
If you don’t want half-width characters to rotate, deselect Standard Vertical Roman Alignment from the Character
panel menu.
