Apply Character Spacing

Intro​

Apply Character Spacing can be used as a Style Behaviour on a Text Shape to create procedural kerning pairs. This prevents the need to manually set this up on a case-by-case basis and is ideal for situations where the string may change (e.g. in automated workflows).

UI​

Button iconAdd
- Add a new index.

Match String - Enter the characters to affect.

Character Spacing - Set the Character Spacing for the matched string.

Example
  1. Create a Text Shape
  2. In the Attribute Editor, click the
    Button icon
    on the Style Behaviour attribute.
  3. Select Apply Character Spacing.
  4. Scrub the Apply Character Spacing's Character Spacing attribute in the Attribute Editor.

Note how the spacing between the v and a in Cavalry updates but the other characters are unchanged. Change the string in Match String to ly to only affect those letters or add a new index using the

Button iconAdd
button.
