GXTY 05 - QuickDraw GX and Text Justification (1-May-95)
Q I am having a problem with text justification with glyphs inserted
by the new "insertion" subtable in GX 1.1b1. Please explain the manner in which
text insertion and justification behave in QuickDraw GX 1.1.1.
A If you are using the pig-
Latin
approach to insertion, then the justification behavior you are observing is
as-designed. Multi-
glyph
pig-
Latin
endings are treated as one kashida group, so they don't have justification
spaces added to them. This behavior may change in a future version of GX, but
it will remain the same in GX 1.1. However, if you use the split-
vowel
approach to insertion, the inserted characters will be justified properly.
