Hello, I have a problem with too big spacing after an apostrophe, do you have a solution for this?

Correct answer johannabntl

Can you do it via Find/Change?

In the font you cannot do it.

it doesn't work, it's ok I found another apostrophe, it will be fine.
Thank you very much!

I've just encountered the same issue and it occurs on all fonts. When I preview a font in the menu the kerning is ok but when I go to the actual text box it has a large space between the apostrophe and the next character. If I use a standard, straight glyph it's ok, but an actual apostrophe leaves a huge gap. See screenshot below. The straight glyph is a workaround but is not correct grammatically and the problem also occurs on speech marks, both open and closed, so @johannabntl 's fix is not correct - it's just a workaround.

Running 29.4 on Mac Mini M1 2020.

Can you share a sample Illustrator file with that issue?

Awesome. Thank you @Kurt Gold - that did the trick! First time in 20 years working with the Japanese that I've had to do that! Thanks once again. Very helpful.

You're welcome.

For what it's worth, in case you want to retain the GyomatsuYakumonoHankaku paragraph setting for some reason, you can also just select the apostrophe and change the right Aki setting in the Character panel to "None" (instead of "Auto").
