Using Type 339
To scale characters horizontally:
1 To adjust horizontal scaling for existing text, select the text (not the text block).
If no text is selected, the adjustment is applied to subsequent text that you enter.
2 In the Text inspector, click the Spacing button to display the Text
Spacing inspector.
3 In the Text Spacing inspector, enter a Horizontal scale value as a percentage
of the standard scale. A value larger than 100% widens the text; a value
smaller than 100% narrows the text.
To adjust spacing between words or letters:
In the Text Spacing inspector, under Spacing %, enter values for Min., Opt., and
Max. for Word or Letter.
Adjusting word spacing (Windows)
Values are measured as a percentage of standard word spacing for the current font.
For Word Spacing, 100% is standard spacing; values smaller than 100 move words
closer together, and values larger than 100 move words farther apart. For Letter
Spacing, 0% is standard spacing; negative values move letters closer together, and
positive values move letters farther apart.
Entering Min. and Max. values allows FreeHand to apply a range of spacing. To
control spacing precisely, enter the same values for Min., Opt., and Max.
