both printings of Understanding Japanese Information Processing (O’Reilly Media, 1993).
Founder FIT
FIT (Focus on Integrated Typesetting or fēiténg, meaning “to soar”) is a page-
layout system developed by Peking University Founder Group ( běidà
fāngzhèng jítuán gōngsī), available for Mac OS X and Windows.
*
It is worth noting that it is
not based on a page-layout system originally developed for English-speaking users.
Although the original version of FIT was designed for use in China (Simplied Chinese),
it has since been made available for use in Taiwan (Traditional Chinese) and Japan (called
Founder FIT),
†
and there are plans for a Korean version.
Some of the more noteworthy features of FIT include the following:
• A ruby feature that supports zhuyin and Pinyin—the positioning options are quite
rich (top, bottom, le, or right of parent characters)
Various options for writing direction•
Various options for punctuation marks: full-width, proportional, and even centered•
Observation of line-breaking rules•
Also of interest is that it provides an equation editor and table tool. Like Canon EDICOLOR
(described later in this chapter), it allows the use of “character” as a unit of measurement.
Of course, it also supports the Q typographic unit.
