- The character is narrowed when the factor is between 0 and 1.
- The character is widened when the factor is larger than 1.
- Character distance - This factor affects the space between characters. The character distance is relative to the character height.
- Flow distance - This factor affects the spacing between rows. The line spacing is defined in relation to the character height.
- Locating point - Defines the vertical and horizontal alignment of text at the locating point.
