USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4
Type
Title Case
to capitalize the first letter of each word.
Sentence Case
to capitalize the first letter of each sentence.
Note: The Sentence Case command assumes that the period (.), exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) characters
mark the ends of sentences. Applying Sentence Case may cause unexpected case changes when these characters are used
in other ways, as in abbreviations, filenames, or URLs. In addition, proper names may become lowercase.
If you’re using an OpenType font, you may want to take advantage of All Caps formatting to create more elegant type.

Specify curly or straight quotes
Typographer’s quotes, often referred to as curly quotes, blend in with the curves of the font. Typographer’s quotes are
traditionally used for quotation marks and apostrophes. Straight quotes are traditionally used as abbreviations for feet
and inches.
❖
Choose File
> Document Setup, and do one of the following; then click
OK:
•
To use straight quotes, deselect Use Typographer’s Quotes.
•
To use typographer’s quotes, select Use Typographer’s Quotes, choose the language for which you want to set
quotes, and choose options for Double Quotes and Single Quotes.
Note: You can set quote options for multiple languages. These quotes are applied to text based on the language you assign
using the Character panel or Default Language preference.
You can use the Smart Punctuation command to replace straight quotes with typographer’s quotes.

Set anti-aliasing options for type
When you save artwork in a bitmap format—such
as JPEG, GIF, or PNG—Illustrator rasterizes all objects at 72 pixels
per inch and applies anti-aliasing to them. However, if your artwork contains type, the default anti-aliasing settings
may not produce the desired results. Illustrator provides several options specifically for rasterizing type. To take
advantage of these options, you must rasterize type objects before you save the artwork.
1
Select the type object, and do one of the following:
•
To permanently rasterize the type, choose Object > Rasterize.
•
To create the appearance of rasterization without changing the object’s underlying structure, choose Effect >
Rasterize.
2
Choose an anti-aliasing option:
None
Applies no anti-aliasing and maintains the hard edges of type when it is rasterized.
Art Optimized (Supersampling)
Default option that rasterizes all objects, including text objects by the specified
resolution and applies anti-aliasing to them. Default resolution is 300 pixels per inch.
