positioning of the commas and periods in the text

Hi all

We are still trying this in pilot project before we go to license route and I am trying to convert a Japanese language html file, however I have noticed that full stops and comma's are in the middle of the line rather in line with text, could you guide me how to fix this ?

Check which fonts are in use, have you specified a Japanese font first in the font-family for the text in question?
sohail.malik
I have not used any font-family, just tested with default command

In that case it is quite likely that the punctuation will end up using a different font to the Japanese text, which will not look as good.

sure make sense. so basically I need to add font option while converting the document to a specific font ?
mikeday
If a paragraph or entire document is mostly in a specific language then it helps to specify a font suitable for that language, yes.
