Adjusting tsume


    Tsume reduces the space around a character by a specified percentage value. The character itself is not stretched or squeezed as a result. Instead, the space between the character's bounding box and the em box is compressed. When tsume is added to a character, spacing around both sides of the character is reduced by an equal percentage.

To reduce spacing between characters:

  1. Select the characters you want to adjust.
  2. In the Character palette, enter or select a percentage for Tsume Tsume . The greater the percentage, the tighter the compression between characters. At 100% (the maximum value), there is no space between the character's bounding box and its em box.
