Character spacing refers to adjusting the spacing throughout a selected word or a block of
text.
1. To edit the parameters of the TrueType object, select the object in the object list or in the
marking image editor.
The parameters are displayed in the category below the object list.
2. Set "Arc outside" or "Arc inside" for "Character arrangement".
3. For "Character spacing type", select one of the following options: "Standard", "Fixed
spacing", "Justify".
"Standard"
Depending on the width of the characters, the character spacing is adjusted by following
the standard of the TrueType font. Select this setting to adjust the spacing of specific
characters such as "i" or "l". This setting creates spaces of a specified angle between
characters. The character spacing value is defined as the angle between the end (right
edge) of one character and the start (left edge) of the next.

"Fixed spacing"
Regardless of the character width, the characters are spaced evenly by a specified
angle. The character spacing value is defined as the angle between the center lines of
two adjacent characters.
(1) Character spacing angle ("Arc outside")
(2) Character spacing angle ("Arc inside")
"Justify"
The space between characters is distributed evenly to align to a specified arc angle.
