Select the characters you want to adjust with the Type tool, and do any of the following in the Character panel:

•

To add aki before or after a character, choose the amount of aki you want to add from the Insert Aki (Left)

Insert Aki (Right)

menu in the Character panel. For example, if you specify 2bu, half a full-width space is

added, and if you specify 4bu, a quarter of a full-width space is added.

•

To compress the aki between characters, specify a percentage for Tsume

. The higher the percentage, the

narrower the aki between characters.

If you don’t see the Insert Aki or Tsume options, select Show Asian Options in the Type preferences.
