Adjusting tsume
Tsume reduces the space around a character by a
specified percentage value. The character itself is
not stretched or squeezed as a result. Instead, the
space around the character is compressed. When
tsume is added to a character, spacing around both
sides of the character is reduced by an equal
percentage.
The greater the percentage, the tighter the
compression between characters. At 100% (the
maximum value), there is no space between the
character's bounding box and its em box.
To reduce spacing between characters:
