The Non-Designer’s Type Book 116

THE NON-DESIGNER'S TYPE BOOK

QuarkXPress ■ Windows

QuarkXPress includes built-in shortcuts for some of the most commonly used special
characters so you don't have to type the Alt codes (but you can always use any of the Alt
codes if you choose). In addition, there is information below about other special Quark¬
XPress features that help in the typographic world.

IMon-breaking spaces

These spaces do not break; that is, the computer does not see them as word spaces at the end of a line,
so if a non-breaking space is between two words, those two words will never separate.

en space (half of an em space) Control Alt Shift 6
to make an en space that does break, use Control Shift 6

non-breaking regular space Control Spacebar

Discretionary hyphens

Type the discretionary hyphen between syllables in a word when you want to hyphenate a word at the end of a
line, but you want the hyphen to disappear if the text gets edited. You can also type this invisible character at
the beginning of a word, and that word will never hyphenate.

- (discretionary hyphen) Control Hyphen

Type the non-word-breaking hyphen between hyphenated words so those words will never separate, even at
the end of a line. It will look just like a regular hyphen. You might want to use it in phone numbers.

- (non-word-breaking hyphen) Control =

Kerning

Position insertion point between two characters, or select a range of characters. If you select a range of
characters, then the command "Kern" turns into "Track." It's doing the same thing.

Adobe Type Manager
Deluxe not only installs
PostScript fonts for you,
but it manages those
PostScript fonts and your
existing or new TrueType
fonts. You can open just
the typefaces you are
using in a project, instead
of having every typeface
you own open all the
time. You can view and
print a sample of any
typeface (as shown to
the left), and you can
customize what that
sample says. If you want
to make new Multiple
Masters instances, you
must install Adobe Type
Manager Deluxe. I don't
know why anyone would
want to be without it.
