Editing mojikumi settings
You must create a new mojikumi set to change mojikumi settings. In a new mojikumi set, you can edit the settings for spacing that you use a lot, such as the spacing between a period and subsequent opening parenthesis. For example, you might create an interview format in which you want to have an em dash before a question, and answers enclosed in parentheses.
To create a new mojikumi set: - Do one of the following:
- Choose Type > Mojikumi Settings.
- Choose Mojikumi Settings from the Mojikumi Set pop-up menu in the Paragraph palette.
- Click New in the Mojikumi Settings dialog box.
- Enter a name for the new mojikumi set, specify the existing set on which the new set will be based, and click OK.
- Choose Use Percentage (%) or Bu from the Units pop-up menu.
- Specify Desired, Minimum, and Maximum values for each option. The Minimum value is used to compress lines for kinsoku (specify a value less than the Desired value). The Maximum value is used to spread lines for fully justified text (specify a value greater than the Desired value).
Depending on the character type, you can specify the same values for Desired, Minimum, and Maximum if you don't want to change the spacing.
- Click Save or OK to save the settings. Click Cancel if you don't want to save the settings.
When you compose Japanese text with a lot of half-width spaces or roman parentheses, problems relating to text composition increase. We recommend that you avoid using roman parentheses, and use full-width parentheses for Japanese composition. Only use roman parentheses when using relatively long English sentences in Japanese text, or when a more serious problem results if you don't use roman parentheses.
To export a mojikumi set: In the Mojikumi Settings dialog box, click Export. Select a location for the file, enter a file name, and click Save. Illustrator saves the file in MJK format.
To import a mojikumi set: In the Mojikumi Settings dialog box, click Import. Select an MJK file, and click Open.
To delete a mojikumi set: In the Mojikumi Settings dialog box, choose a mojikumi set from the Mojikumi pop-up menu, and click Delete. All the text to which the mojikumi set was applied will return to default settings. Note: You cannot delete predefined mojikumi sets.
