Here is a setting of automatically inserting a space between Japanese and Western languages. No space is entered when -ah-text-autospace is specified as ‘none’. A space is entered between Kanji/Kana and European languages if ‘ideograph-numeric’ is set. Likewise, a space is entered between Kanji/Kana and alphabets with ‘ideograph-alpha’, and between Kanji/Kana and Western language parenthesis with ‘ideograph-prenthesis’ (however, a space will be entered outside the parenthesis only). A space between Japanese and Western languages can be specified with the value of -ah-text-autospace-width.
