Principles of Arrangement for Japanese

Japanese user basically use spacing furniture for title of document and title of table..etc According to Japanese Industrial Standards,There are three type of spacing. It call "Fixed inter-character spacing","Even inter-character spacing" and "Tsumegumi".

Office software should be able to use it.

a.Fixed inter-character spacing: 
Text set with a fixed size space between each character frame (see [Fig.6]).
b. Even inter-character spacing:
Text set with equal inter-character spacing between characters on a given line,
so that each line is aligned to the same line head and line end (see [Fig.7]).

Even inter-character space setting is used in books for unifying the length of table headings with Japanese text (see [Fig.8]). 
There are also examples (e.g. lists of names) in which parts of a person names receive inter-character spacing. 
c.Tsumegumi (kerning / tracking): Text is set with negative inter-character space by arranging characters 
so that a portion of two character frames overlap each other. This is divided further into two types,
depending on the methods used for inter-character space reduction. One method involves reducing by the
same amount of inter-character space (even tsumegumi or tracking, see [Fig.9]) and the other involves
determining the amount of space to reduce based on the distance between the two letter faces of adjacent 
characters (face tsumegumi or letter face kerning, see [Fig.10]).
