optical margin alignment
InDesign 19.0 (2024): Optical margin alignment does not work (well), contrary to the previous versions. The problem doesn not depend on a certain font, it is a general problem.

This has been bugging me since the 19.0 release. I *think* this is a solution.
Apparently the text shaping engine was changed in 19.0. If you're having problems with a file created in 18.x and are using the Adobe World-Ready Composer, you should check (in Preferences > Advanced type…) "Enable Legacy Text Shaping for Adobe World-Ready Composer".
This seems to work for me. The new shaping engine (Harfbuzz) doesn't handle hung punctuation in the same way as the old one.
