• The heights and widths specified for the [Base
Line], [Capital Line] and [Set Lines] are the
reference mask for creating the font character.
• When characters created with Font Creator are
imported into Layout & Editing, the width and
height of the characters will be in the following
area.
Character height: from Base Line
a to
Capital Line
b
Character width: from Set Line (Left) f to Set
Line (Right)

• In order to align the height of the characters, the
[Ascender Line], [Mean Line] and [Descender
Line] appear the same with all characters.
Therefore, if the height of any of these lines is
changed, the setting is maintained, even when a
different character is selected to be edited.
• The widths of the [Set Lines] can be set
separately for each character.
