Extended character attributes

Stretch and scale text and spacing of your text. TX Text Control ActiveX 30.0 supports extended character attributes such as subscript, superscript, text effects, character spacing, and scaling. The font and formatting style dialog boxes have been extended to reflect these new text formatting features.

  • Change the spacing between characters.
  • Stretch and scale text horizontally.
  • Automatic subscript and superscript.

When using automatic sub- and superscript, the font is scaled and moved above or below the baseline with values defined through the used font. Some fonts do not explicitly define these values. In these cases, TX Text Control uses a scaling of 50% and moving of 40% above and 15% below the baseline.
