In PageMaker, we often have to arrange some mixed documents in Chinese and Western languages. Since the pages produced in PageMaker are not ordinary documents, it is inevitable that there are high requirements for the fonts in the documents. At this time, there is a problem: all use Chinese. Fonts, the western language in some fonts is not very good-looking. There are even no Western languages in a few art fonts; the use of Western fonts is even worse, and the Chinese part has become garbled. How to do? Set them separately, the document is long, it is not blame for people to die, in fact, there is a special tool "composite font editor" in the Chinese version of PageMaker, which can help us solve this problem very conveniently.
The composite font editor is located in the PageMaker plug-in under the Utilities menu. If it is not or is displayed as gray unavailable, you will need to re-run the installer and select it in the Utilities-PageMaker plug-in. The composite font editor can be installed.
After running, the composite font editor window appears. As shown in Figure 1, the defined font is displayed in the list on the left. You can edit or delete it. Click the "Add" button to create a new composite font and create a new composite. The font dialog box is shown in Figure 2. The meanings of several main settings fields are:
Font set name: The name of the new composite font, such as typing "Zhang Jie's regular font".
Basic font: Chinese font. Click the down triangle button to select a Chinese font from the system font set.
Roman font: Western font.
Size, Baseline: The size and position of the Western font display are expressed as a percentage. Sometimes when the same font size is used, the western font is slightly smaller, so you can set it to a slightly larger size, such as 120%, and vice versa. Correspondingly, the baseline should be adjusted accordingly.
Detailed data setting: further set the common fonts, sub-family fonts and symbols of a font. The dialog box is shown in Figure 3. After selecting the font, you can select it from the drop-down item in the range bar, or you can Type the starting area directly into the character area. Note that the order of selection of the details is from top to bottom, and the first set value is preferred.
Example: Instant preview of the currently edited composite font. The previous "Adobe" is the western font, followed by the Chinese font. Click the "Change Sample" button to define the sample content yourself.
It should be noted that the size and baseline settings cannot be reflected in the example. Here is a small trick to click the text tool button (T-button) in the toolbox to enter the text editing state before editing the composite font. After selecting a Chinese and Western mixed text, run the composite font editor, after setting the font set, click the "Save" button in the composite font editor window, you can see that the font in the body has changed accordingly, if If the result is not satisfactory, such as size, baseline, etc., click the "Edit" button to modify the composite font.
The use of composite fonts is no different from other fonts in the system. From the "text-font" we can see that the composite font "Zhang Jie's positive font" just edited is also in it, just select it. However, in earlier versions prior to 6.0, you needed to restart PageMaker to see them in "Fonts".
