the Font Browser. For more information on using the Font Browser, see "Using text tools
for typing text" on page 16.
Specifies the font's size, in scan lines.
Font Size
Specifies the horizontal scale of the selected font. This value is a percentage of the
Aspect
font's natural aspect ratio. Values less than 100% narrow the text. Values above 100%
widen the text.
Specifies the amount of space between lines of type. For Roman type, leading is
Leading
measured from the baseline of one line of type to the baseline of the next line. For vertical
text, leading is measured from the center of one line of type to the center of the next line.In
the Adobe Title Designer, the baseline is the line underneath the text. You can apply more
than one leading amount within the same paragraph; however, the largest leading value in
a line of type determines the leading value for that line.
Note: To turn the text baselines on or off, choose Title > View > Text Baselines. A check beside
the Text Baseline menu item indicates that the option is on. Text baselines appear only when
you select the text object.
Specifies the amount of space you add or subtract between specific character
Kerning
pairs. The value indicates the percentage of character width between the character pairs.
Place the cursor at the point where you want to adjust kerning.
Specifies the amount of space between a range of letters. The value indicates the
Tracking
percentage of character width between the specified range of characters. The direction of
the text tracking is based on the justification of the text. For example, center justified text
tracks from the center. Adjusting the tracking is useful when your contiguous text has
thick strokes that cause the characters to blend into each other, making them hard to read.
Adjust the tracking for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box and changing the
Tracking value. You can also adjust the tracking between specific contiguous characters by
selecting only those characters and changing the Tracking value.
Specifies the distance of the characters from the baseline. Raise or lower the
Baseline Shift
selected type to create superscripts or subscripts. Changing the Baseline Shift value affects
all characters. Adjust the baseline shift for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box
and changing the value. Adjust the baseline shift between specific contiguous characters
by selecting only those characters and changing the value.
Specifies the slant of an object, in degrees.
