I am a newbie using Publisher to prepare practice grids for practicing Chinese characters, but I am having trouble aligning the characters within each box. Chinese character fonts are uniformly monospaced (no kerning option). Columns 1 and 2 are too far to the right, and column 3 is just right (3D needs a very slight nudge to the right). Columns 4 and 5 are also very slightly off (4D and 5C need to be slightly nudged to the left). When designing the grid, I left a small horizontal space (1.2 mm) between boxes. I set my text size to 110 pts, which seems just right (at least for column 3). Anything above or below 110 pts causes more problems. I hope I can avoid making microadjustments to every single box. The character menu doesn't seem to have any useful options, and neither does the paragraph menu. "Spacing" seems like the obvious place for making adjustments, but that doesn't work either: leading doesn't work; left indent and right indent move everything over. Maybe I should just jam all the boxes together? Advice would be very much appreciated.

中文排版功能改进——feature requests for Chinese typesetting
Guest posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Affinity工作团队: 你们好! 与英文排版不同,中文排版有特殊的格式,比如首行缩进、竖形文字排版和标点避头尾。我想这是中文排版工作者迫切需要的功能,但是目前我没有在软件中发现这些。 希望尽快加入支持!谢谢! Below by translation Affinity team: Hello! Unlike English typesetting, Chinese typesetting has special formats, such as first line indentation, “ Punctuation avoid head and tail ” and vertical typesetting. I think this is urgent for Chinese typesetters and users in Asian countries. Hope you can add support as soon as possible! maybe you need some pictures to understand better
