- 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.
