-
LOOSE
-
leaves the most visible space between characters
and produces a longer string.
-
NONE
-
spacing depends on the size of the font.
NONE might produce a shorter or longer string than LOOSE for the same font
at different point sizes, because some sizes add space between the characters
while others remove it.
-
NORMAL
-
is the recommended setting.
-
TIGHT
-
reduces the space between characters.
-
TOUCH
-
leaves the least visible space between characters.
-
V5
-
places a fixed amount of space between the
characters and does not adjust for the shape of the character; that is, it
does not support kerning. This spacing is compatible with Version 5 Bitstream
fonts.
The spacing you specify with FTRACK= affects
all Bitstream text in a graph. For example, you cannot produce TIGHT Century
type and LOOSE Zapf type simultaneously. This option has no effect on other
font types.
Because the value of FTRACK= is stored with the graph,
the spacing that you specify when the graph is created is always used when
the graph is replayed.
