Use aki
Aki is the white space before or after a character. Usually, fixed spacing is applied between the characters based on the
mojikumi setting for a paragraph. You can change the mojikumi setting for special characters using the Insert Aki
options in the Character panel. For example, to add a space before an opening parenthesis, use the Insert Aki (Left)
option.
❖ Select the characters you want to adjust with the Type tool, and do any of the following in the Character panel:
• To add aki before or after a character, choose the amount of aki you want to add from the Insert Aki (Left) or
Insert Aki (Right) menu in the Character panel. For example, if you specify 2bu, half a full-width space is
added, and if you specify 4bu, a quarter of a full-width space is added.
• To compress the aki between characters, specify a percentage for Tsume . The higher the percentage, the
narrower the aki between characters.
If you don’t see the Insert Aki or Tsume options, select Show Asian Options in the Type preferences.
