kerning control in ODS Layout?

bconner — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 14:56:15 GMT

Good morning,

Is it possible to control kerning in ods layout situations, perhaps through a style option? I'm not seeing how to do it.

I have something like:

ods region height=.7in width=8in;

ods text="^{style[.... fontsize=8pt] This is the first line}";

ods text="^{style[.... fontsize=8pt] ^{Unicode 2550}^{Unicode 2550}^{Unicode 2550}^{Unicode 2550}^{Unicode 2550}";

ods text="^{style[.... fontsize=8pt] This is the last line}";

The font size comes out fine but the lines are separated by a wider vertical distance than I'd like to see. (BTW, the Unicode 2550 is a double horizontal line.)

Thanks!

Hi:
I think this is a question for Tech Support. I do not believe there is the same kind of kerning control that you have in publishing apps or Word Processors.
