In some cases the localized tagline appears very short. This creates a huge gap between the words. You can adjust this by adding a positive value to the letterspacing.
Example: If the tagline would be "Great encyklopédia" a huge, not nice looking gap appears. By adjusting the letterspacing to a value of "40" the gap turns much smaller and the tagline looks nicer.


tagline almost fits

In most cases the tagline appears will almost fit.

tagline much too short

Sometimes the tagline is much too small and a letterspacing of more than 50 would be necessary to let the gap disappear. This is an extra case, where you can let the tagline be less wide than the wordmark, by changing the setting of the textfield from "Justify all lines" to "Align center"

Illustrator

  • Open the paragraph window (Top Navigation: "Type": "Paragraph")
  • Select the whole tagline
  • Click on the centered-icon
