Use warichu

The Warichu option in the Character panel decreases the typeface size of selected text to a percentage of the original
and stacks the type—horizontally or vertically, according to the orientation—on multiple lines.

1

Select text and choose Warichu from the Character panel menu. (Select it again to turn it off.)

2

Select any of the following warichu settings from the Character panel menu:

Lines

Specifies how many lines of text will appear as warichu characters.

Line Gap

Determines the distance between the lines of warichu characters.

Scale

Sets the size of warichu characters as a percentage of the size of the parent text.

Alignment

Specifies the alignment of warichu characters. For example, in a vertical frame grid, selecting Top will

align the beginning of the warichu characters at the top of the frame. The alignment proxy shows how the warichu
text appears relative to the parent text.

Line Breaking Options

Specifies the minimum number of characters required before and after the line breaks to

start a new line.

Align Asian characters with mojisoroe

Mojisoroe is the alignment of characters in Asian type. When a line of text contains different sizes of characters, you can
specify how to align text to the largest characters in the line: to the top, center, or bottom of the em box (right, center,
and left for vertical frames), to the roman baseline, or to the top or bottom of the ICF box (right or left for vertical
frames). ICF (Ideographic Character Space) is the average height and width used by the font designer to design the
ideographic characters which comprise a font.
