CONFIGURATION FILES: Interword spacing 186‘<strong>The</strong> idea is – analog to the tables for expansion and protrusion – to havetables for optical reduction/expansion of spaces in dependence of the actualcharacter so that the distance between words is optically equal.When reducing distances the (weighting) order is:• after commas7481 {,} = { ,-500,500},• in front of capitals which have optical more room on their left side, e.g., ‘A’,‘J’, ‘T’, ‘V’, ‘W’, and ‘Y’ [this is not yet possible – RS]• in front of capitals which have circle/oval shapes on their left side, e.g., ‘C’,‘G’, ‘O’, and ‘Q’ [ditto – RS]• after ‘r’ (because of the bigger optical room on the righthand side)7482 r = { ,-300,300},• [before or] after lowercase characters with ascenders7483 b = { ,-200,200},7484 d = { ,-200,200},7485 f = { ,-200,200},7486 h = { ,-200,200},7487 k = { ,-200,200},7488 l = { ,-200,200},7489 t = { ,-200,200},• [before or] after lowercase characters with x-height plus descender withadditional optical space, e.g., ‘v’, or ‘w’7490 c = { ,-100,100},7491 p = { ,-100,100},7492 v = { ,-100,100},7493 w = { ,-100,100},7494 z = { ,-100,100},7495 x = { ,-100,100},7496 y = { ,-100,100},• [before or] after lowercase characters with x-height plus descender withoutadditional optical space7497 i = { , 50, -50},7498 m = { , 50, -50},7499 n = { , 50, -50},7500 u = { , 50, -50},• after colon and semicolon7501 : = { ,200,-200},7502 ; = { ,200,-200},• after punctuation which ends a sentence, e.g., period, exclamation mark,question mark7503 . = { ,250,-250},7504 ! = { ,250,-250},7505 ? = { ,250,-250}7506 }75077508 <strong>The</strong> order has to be reversed when enlarging is needed.’Questions are:
