ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for adjusting spacing between characters in a line of text. A plurality of character classes are specified based on user input. A character class from the plurality of character classes is assigned to a character of a pair of characters in the line. Spacing between characters of the pair of characters is adjusted based on the assigned character class. Method and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for selecting rules for spacing adjustment in a line of text, and method and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for evaluating line layout are also described.
