The following words in cannot be reproduced in InDesign. It seems the glyph substitution is not working in about 1% of cases.

র‍্যানিবিজুমাব — Bengali
ମହତ୍ଵପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ — Oriya
ସ୍ଵେଚ୍ଛାକୃତ — Oriya
କିମ୍ଵା — Oriya

It looks fine above, in any text editor, or in any Microsoft app, but does NOT look right in any Adobe app I tested, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC 2019 and 2020 of each.
I am applying the World-Ready Composers.
I have tried copy+pasting the text from Word and also tried the Place command in InDesign.
I've tested in both the English North America and English Arabic versions.
I've tried multiple fonts, as well. No change.
See attached for examples. Word doc shows as it should be. InDesign shows it wrong. I highlighted the glyphs that are wrong in InDesign as pink.
Thanks!

InDesign CC 14.0.3

I work in the health sector of the Pacific North West. We are incorporating Indigenous languages in our communications both in print and online in an effort to be inclusive and represent our diversity.

Recently, I have been unable to use any Indigenous keyboard symbols with InDesign (and I assume other CC products) - though I can use it in this forum and in other software. Examples are Ȼ and Ŧ. I've attached a screen grab showing the language keyboards installed on my MacBook Pro and a result. As a reference, this site provides Indigenous language keyboards for free download: languagegeek.com

Step to reproduce issue
• I install a free language keyboard from languagegeek.com.
• I select SENOCŦEN.
• I use this keyboard to generate an Indigenous character such as Ŧ using the Lato font, which has the tested ability to generate this character.
• I type in the letter T and a line to create the special keyboard character.

Expected result
A T with a horizontal line. Eg Ŧ

Actual Result
• A pink box with a line drawn through it showing that the character cannot be produced.
• Screenshot of result is included.

Thanks for considering,
Matthew

I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.

Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

As one of the members of the team who helped bring Lao support to ICU (International Components for Unicode), I know that there is support for Lao that doesn't require much work, assuming you all are already using ICU to process text in InDesign. Adobe is listed on ICU's project page as a major user of this library.

So... I would like to request this feature be turned on to properly support Lao text wrapping and word tokenization with non-zero-width-space delimited phrases in Lao.

Here's an excerpt from the Lao Bible:

ເມື່ອພຣະເຈົ້າຊົງເລີ້ມຕົ້ນ (5 words, no spaces, no ZWSPs)

ເມື່ອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ ຊົງ ເລີ້ມ ຕົ້ນ (same 5 words separated by spaces)

I know that there are organizations who swear by ZWSPs (and for good reasons), and do not prefer automatic Lao word tokenization. It might be nice to also provide a mechanism to manually disable this feature for text/frames/documents, assuming the user wants greater control of line breaking in Lao (Thai or Khmer too). But, otherwise, out-of-the-box, have the feature on so that it lowers the barrier of entry for Lao people wishing to use InDesign.

Chrome and LibreOffice are two applications that already support Lao word tokenization out of the box, and more text is available at https://laobible.sea-sda.org if you need some tools/text to test against.

Thanks!

I keep encountering the same glitch in multiple documents where an edit to the text on one page forces a blank page (although running head and page number remain) on the following page, with the text re-flowing as expected on the page after that. For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:

1) place my cursor at the very end of the page before the unwanted blank and enter a space - this brings the text back onto the blank but doesn't actually add a space.
2) make a minor adjustment to the tracking/kerning of a single character on the page before the unwanted blank.

Linked to this, occasionally some of my footnotes have disappeared as well - to get them back I have to adjust the size of the text box slightly and then restore it to its original size.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Justify vertically text frame is not correct every time particularly in more than 2 columns text frame. Tried all options and found some time there are space in bottom of last line as in attached file.

Reproduced in the same in 2 or more columns text frames. This happens in:

1. If used heading span 2 or more or spall all.




2. Placed any text wrap graphics,




3. Used with or without "Skip by leading"

All the instances are same results, in some cases the space are more than the attached file, particularly if used "span all" for heading and place any "text wrapped" object
