Coordinating grid tracking and mojikumi spacing of Japanese text
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for coordinating grid tracking and character composition, comprising:
- receiving a grid defining a layout of one or more lines of grid boxes, each grid box being operable to accommodate one full-width character and having a global track amount specified in an absolute unit;
populating one or more of the grid boxes with characters and associated spaces; and
tracking the characters and their associated spaces in the one or more lines of grid boxes by an amount determined for each of the characters or spaces as a function of the global track amount and a proportion of an em for the respective character or space.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for coordinating grid tracking and character composition. A grid defining a layout of one or more lines of grid boxes is received. Each grid box can accommodate one full-width character and has a global track amount specified in an absolute unit. One or more of the grid boxes is populated with characters and associated spaces. The characters and their associated spaces in the one or more lines of grid boxes are tracked by an amount determined as a function of the global track amount and a proportion of an em for the characters and their associated spaces.
