Similar facilities control how outlined text is created.
Default leading, previously set by the system, is now under user control. For each font and size combination, you can specify what the default leading should be. A new window for typographic attributes lets you control a wide variety of parameters, such as by bumping the size up or down in specified increments and locking the type size while changing the set width or character spacing. For producing coupon boxes, there is better support for dashed lines, better control over radius and inverted-radius corners, and the ability to change the characteristics of each corner of a box individually. A single large box can be subdivided into a grid of smaller ones, and each corner of each small box can be controlled individually as well.
