Using Advanced Typography Features
Some fonts, such as Zapfino and Hoefler, have advanced typography features, which
you use to create different effects. If you’re using a font in a text box that has different
typography effects available, you can change many of the effects in the Font submenu
of the Format menu. For example, you may be able to adjust the following:
 Tracking: Place characters closer together or farther apart.
 Ligature: Use or leave out stylish flourishes between letters or at the end or
beginning of lines that combine two or more text characters into one glyph.
Ligature not used
Ligature used
In the Ligature submenu, choose Use Default to use ligature settings specified in

ligatures for selected text, or choose Use All to turn on additional ligatures for the
selected text.
Advanced typography features are available in the Typography window.
To open the Typography window:
1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.

left corner).
