If I can secure rights from one of our clients to share another one of our files where we saw the problem, I will send your way.Gábor Kóthay+Zuzana Licko+Amondó Szegi+Krisztina Somogyi The workaround for someone who wants to set ligatures but avoid chance of having this problem is to use a GREP style to apply ligature setting where it is needed, e.g., fi, fl, Th, ct, whatever.Īnyway, thanks for offering to help again. Known problem pairs include hn, hk, io, il, sy, ek, & eh.
Turning off ligatures “fixes” the bug because InDesign seems to be for some reason trying to make ligatures out of pairs that have no business being a ligature. (The bug has not been known to happen when doing this step before opening/making any new file.)
FONTNUKE REVIEW MAC
The problem has reoccurred, albeit less frequently, in every version of InDesign we’ve used since.Ĭlearing caches and rebooting Mac before opening a new file helps. The Mac that we eventually reproduced the problem on in 2011 was basically out of the box (I can’t confirm 100%: it was 8 years ago and I did not personally setup the Mac and was not the one spending the time to force the issue to happen, but I was nearby), and it was done using a brand new file with no content other than a small bit of text in Adobe Garamond Pro.
FONTNUKE REVIEW MAC OS
The problem proved not to be any of the things we thought it might be: Mac OS version, ID version (original problem was in InDesign 7.0.0.355 and we hoped updating to 7.0.3 would resolve it, ha), font management software, Quark 7 being on same Mac, postscript font, etc. The problem happened at a remote office from our headquarters and initially we could not reproduce the problem here. To be clear: We first found (and reported on the Adobe forums) this problem in CS5 in 2011. In case you can find a pattern or consistent reproducible steps, we can reprioritise the issue for fixing.”īut in my bug report here I gave the only known way that the problem has been reproduced.
In fact, I followed up with you just a month ago and you replied to me that “ looking into the problem but currently it is not at high priority. I already provided you a file earlier this year. I know someone who has even seen the effects of this problem in printed material (i.e., in a book they were reading). It seems that once the problem occurs the first time it may then become more frequent on that computer. Only thing that sometimes works is to brute force load/unload fonts until the problem occurs. There is no sure fire way to reproduce the bug. This is a long-standing problem which has been reported in forums various times and needs to be addressed. The only thing that works to avoid it is to turn off Ligatures which is generally unacceptable, so the only workaround is a targeted GREP style to apply ligatures to only the pairs that should have them for that file. Language setting can be English US, UK, or seemingly anything else. Affected fonts have been many over the years, including licensed Adobe fonts. This has been a problem since CS5 and we recently had it occur in CC2015, so it is still there. with completely wrong glyph, such as accented Y, U, etc., when regular Ligature setting is applied.
InDesign sometimes, seemingly randomly, replaces pairs such as hn, il, io, sy, ek, etc.
