Use kurikaeshi moji shori

You can control how repeated characters in Japanese text are handled using the Kurikaeshi Moji Shori option in the
Paragraph panel. By default, a repeat character mark is substituted for the second character when two identical
characters follow one after the other in a body of text. When this option is selected, both characters are displayed if
they are separated by a line break.

Creating composite fonts

Create a composite font

You can mix characters from Japanese and roman fonts and use them as one composite font. Composite fonts are
displayed at the beginning of the font list.

Important: Composite fonts must be based on Japanese fonts. For example, you cannot create fonts that include Chinese
or Korean fonts, nor can you use Chinese or Korean-based composite fonts copied from another application.
