InDesign
frames
- multiple columns
- linkable to other frames (threading)-> flowing text
- movable,sizable
- auto fit to content
baseline offset
- Ascent
- The height of the “d” character in the font falls below the top inset of the text frame.
- Cap Height
- The top of uppercase letters touch the top inset of the text frame.
- Leading
- Use the text’s leading value as the distance between the baseline of the first line of text and the top inset of the frame.
- X Height
- The height of the “x” character in the font falls below the top inset of the frame.
- Fixed
- Specify the distance between the baseline of the first line of text and the top inset of the frame
- Min
- Select a minimum value for the baseline offset.
adding text
- typing
- pasting (with(out) style info)
- placing (hot-linking)
- selecting text
- double,triple,quadruple,quintuple clicks
TYPOGRAPHY
- character palette
- General:
- typeface family
- typeface (maps, when family is changed), NO software approximation available
- style
- leading
- tracking
- kerning
- manual
- optical pair kerning (based on calculated space between chars)
- metrics (pairs defined in font set)
- horizontal & vertical scaling
- baseline shift
- skew value
- superscript
- subscript
- optical margin alignment (mostly: punctuation marks outside frame -> text even)
- OpenTypeStuff:
- contextual replacements
- type styles: all caps, small caps (auto mapping to predesigned), strike-through, etc…
- ligatures (auto substitution)
- glyphs
- via glyph panel
- automatically in current font
- list of recently used
- create own customized glyphs sets
paragraph palette
- composing engines (single or multiple lines)
- justification, 7 versions, +(set word and char. spacing ranges),
- alignment
- hyphenation (extensive settings)
- drop caps
Effects
- text to path
- inline graphics
- text wrap (in conjunction with paths!)
- gradients
Misc
- show hidden characters
- special characters
- quotation marks
- specifiy which ones to use for different languages
- white spaces
- different sizes
