Use mojisoroe to align Asian characters

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 embox (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). The ICF is the space where characters can be placed.

Roman Baseline

Aligns the small characters in a line to the large character.

Embox Top/Right, Embox Center, or Embox Bottom/Left

Aligns the small characters in a line to the specified

position of the large character’s embox. In vertical text frames, Embox Top/Right aligns the text to the right of the
embox, and Embox Bottom/Left aligns the text to the left of the embox.

ICF Top/Right and ICF Bottom/Left

Aligns the small characters in a line to the ICF specified by the large characters.

In vertical text frames, ICF Top/Right aligns the text to the right of the ICF, and ICF Bottom/Left aligns the text to
the left of the ICF.
