Adobe Illustrator CS4 - Manual (Page 348)

341 USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4
Type
The existing character spacing rules in Illustrator follow the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specification,
JISx4051-1995. You can select from the predefined mojikumi sets provided by Illustrator.
Furthermore, you can create specific mojikumi sets. In a new mojikumi set, you can edit the settings for spacing that
you use a lot, such as the spacing between a period and subsequent opening parenthesis. For example, you might create
an interview format in which you want to have an em dash before a question, and answers enclosed in parentheses.
