TextRunTypographyProperties.CapitalSpacing Property

Definition

Gets a value that indicates whether inter-glyph spacing for all-capital text is globally adjusted to improve readability.

public:
 abstract property bool CapitalSpacing { bool get(); };
public abstract bool CapitalSpacing { get; }
member this.CapitalSpacing : bool
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property CapitalSpacing As Boolean

Property Value

true if spacing is adjusted; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Remarks

Capital spacing is a feature that allows you to provide more spacing when using all capitals in text. Capital letters are typically designed to blend with lowercase letters. Spacing that appears attractive between and a capital letter and a lowercase letter may look too tight when all capital letters are used. The following text displays normal and capital spacing for the Pescadero font.
