area.
 Character height: from Base Line

• In order to align the height of the characters, the

[Ascender Line], [Mean Line] and [Descender

Line] appear the same with all characters.

Therefore, if the height of any of these lines is
changed, the setting is maintained, even when a

different character is selected to be edited.

• The widths of the [Set Lines] can be set

separately for each character.
