Choosing a mojikumi set


    Mojikumi specifies Japanese text composition for spacing of Japanese characters, roman characters, punctuation, special characters, line start, line end, and numbers. You can also specify paragraph indents.

    The existing character spacing rules in Illustrator follow the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specification, JISx4051-1995. You can select from the predefined mojikumi sets provided by Illustrator. Furthermore, you can create specific mojikumi sets, and change the values for character spacing.

To select a mojikumi set for a paragraph:

    In the Paragraph palette, choose an option from the Mojikumi Set pop-up menu:

    • None to turn off the use of mojikumi.
    • YakumonoHankaku to use half-width spacing for punctuation.
    • GyoumatsuYakumonoHankaku to use full-width spacing for most characters except the last character in the line.
