Aki is the white space before or after a character. Usually, fixed spacing is applied between the characters based on the mojikumi setting for a paragraph. You can change the mojikumi setting for special characters using the Insert Aki options in the Character panel. For example, to add a space before an opening parenthesis, use the Insert Aki (Left) option.
To add aki before or after a character, choose
the amount of aki you want to add from the Insert Aki (Left) or
Insert Aki (Right)
menu
in the Character panel. For example, if you specify 2bu, half a
full-width space is added, and if you specify 4bu, a quarter of
a full-width space is added.
To compress the aki between characters, specify a percentage
for Tsume . The
higher the percentage, the narrower the aki between characters.
