> ENTERING RUBI TEXT FOR JAPANESE

> Rubi text-small characters that appear above other characters-is used in
> Japanese-language documents to indicate pronunciation.
>
> If Japanese fonts are installed on your system, FrameMaker provides
commands
> for entering rubi and for specifying how you want the rubi to appear. For
> information on adjusting the size, location, and spacing of rubi text,
see
> Adjusting spacing in Japanese documents.
>
> To type rubi:
>
> 1  Select the characters above which you want to type rubi. The selected
> text cannot contain a paragraph symbol () or a forced return symbol ().
>
> 2  Choose Special > Rubi and type the text. (If the Rubi command doesn't
> appear on the Special menu, press Esc s r instead of choosing Special >
> Rubi.) The rubi appears above the selected characters. If the selected
> characters span two lines, the characters will all appear on the same
line.
>
> Note: If the rubi collides with the preceding line of text, either set
the
> line spacing large enough to accommodate the rubi (at least 150% of the
font
> size) or turn off fixed line spacing (see Changing spacing).
>
> 3  To return to the regular text when you finish typing the rubi, click
in

>
> ADJUSTING RUBI TEXT SIZE, PLACEMENT, AND SPACING
>
> Rubi text is made up of small characters (usually kana) appearing above
> other text, called oyamoji. You can control the size of the rubi text as
> well as how it is spaced and aligned with respect to its underlying
oyamoji
> text. Your settings affect rubi text throughout a document.
>
> To adjust the size, placement, and spacing of rubi text:
>
> 1  Make the appropriate document window or book window active. If a book
> window is active, select the documents you want to affect.
>
> 2  Choose Format > Document > Rubi Properties [Esc o r]. This command is
available
> only if your system supports the typing of Japanese text in documents and
> dialog boxes.
>
> 3  Choose a value from the Size pop-up menu or enter a value in the text
> box. The value you enter can be a percentage of the point size of the
> underlying oyamoji (such as 50%), a point size (such as 8pt), or any
other
> unit of measurement, including Q units.
>
> 4  Do the following:
>
> *   To let rubi text overhang non-oyamoji text if it needs to, click Let
> Rubi Overhang Surrounding Hiragana.
> *   To remove preceding or trailing space when rubi text appears at the
> start or end of a line, click Align All Characters at Line Boundaries.
>
> 5  Click an option in the Rubi Alignment for Japanese Oyamoji area. The
> illustrations in the dialog box show how rubi text will be spaced and
> aligned when it's above Japanese characters and when its length is less
than
> or greater than the underlying Japanese text.
>
> 6  Click an option in the Rubi Alignment for Other Oyamoji area. The
> illustrations in the dialog box show how rubi text will be spaced and
> aligned when it's above non-Japanese text and when its length is less
than
> or greater than the underlying text.
>
> 7  Click Set.
