Character List
This displays the list of all
stroke characters.
To edit the stroke charac-
ter, click it.
Text box
This is a box for enclos-
ing text.
The size of the box differs
according to the type of
base font and the charac-
ter. Normally you should
create the text so that it
fits inside the box.
Stroke Characters
All stroke characters are made up of polylines
and lines.
You can edit them by adding or deleting verti-
ces, adding line segments, and so on.

Base line
This is the reference line for lining up
a text string horizontally.
When text is written horizontally, the
base lines of adjacent characters are
lined up along a horizontal line so that
there is no unevenness.
Status bar
Moving the pointer to a toolbar button or
pointing to a menu command displays a brief
explanation of the button or command.
Base font text
This is displayed as a rough draft for
editing stroke characters.
A base font serves as the design base
for a stroke character.
