  1. オブジェクト拡大・縮小に応じない いくつかのテキスト属性がある

    テキスト属性のいくつかは拡大・縮小に応じません。
    すべて日本語版だけの要素なので、日本語で失礼します。

    発生バージョン:これまでの全てのバージョン
    検証手順:
    1 さまざまな属性を与えたテキストフレームを用意
    2 1をコピー
    3 1のテキストフレームをアウトライン作成
    4 塗りカラーを変更
    5 元の位置にペースト
    6 すべてを選択
    7 拡大・縮小

    添付画像A は 5あるいは6の状態、添付画像Bが7の結果です。
    これにより、以下の属性が拡大・縮小に応じないことがわかります。
    ・ルビ文字のオフセット
    ・圏点のオフセット
    ・縦中横のオフセット
    ・割注の行間

    通常の業務ではこのような作業を行うことはほとんどありませんが、
    決して看過してよい仕様ではありません。改善を希望します。

  2. Title Case Is Not Actually Title Case

    I'm editing book with over 1,000 pages. I am selecting copy, changing case to Title Case, but it just capitalizes first letter in all words. There needs to be another case option. Title case needs to be setup so it makes a "title" of a book so words like "of" are not capitalized. New option can be called First Letter Caps, and Title case can be fixed to address words that should not be capitalized in a title of a book or headline.

  4. Variable font sliders are laggy

    Variable font sliders are much less smooth in InDesign, compared to Illustrator. They are much laggier.

    Attached is a screen recording of the Acumin variable font being used in Illustrator (top) and InDesign (bottom).

  5. Text disappearing while editing

    On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.

  7. fontproblem – strange ligatures – invisible font

    Hi there

    In InDesign CC23 we have the problem that we sometimes have some issues with ligatures. We have the font Minion Pro activates in the Library. and somehow have the problem, that the ligatures appear to be a completely different character, see the screenshot.
    the problem could be resolved by deleting the Minion Font from the application folder > Ressources > Required > Fonts. the Ligatures changed back to the correct character. Or i deactivate the minion regular in the finder. But i need the font for other apps as well, so i need to activate the regular font…

  9. Nonbreaking Space shortcut doesn't work on mac

    The shortcut for the "Nonbreaking Space" (option+command+X) doesn't work anymore in Indesign 2023 (and 2022). Clearing cache and preferences didn't fix it.

  10. [EPV] Footnote references vanish in tables when the Adobe World-Ready Composer is applied

    Hi together,

    tested with InDesign 2020 and also with the current InDesign 2023 version 18.1.0.51 on Windows 10.

    If I apply one of the two Adobe World-Ready Composers to text in a table the footnote references in the text will vanish.
    The footnote texts themselves do not. It's just the rendering of the footnote reference numbers.

    See also this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum:

  12. InDesign 2023 (18.0)

    When attempting to switch the font family, the font menu jumps all the way to the top of the list instead of moving up to the previous font family in the list.

    Hack solution: If you choose a different weight and then attempt to change the font family, the font menu works correctly and doesn't jump to the top.

    This makes 2023 unusable, downgrading until fixed.

  13. Quranic annotation signs not working in Indesign

    Hi. Standard Pakistani Quranic text is not rendered properly in Indesign because it is unable to handle a Unicode block correctly (see attachments)

    Version of Adobe InDesign:
    2021 16.3.2

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    To recreate this problem, download the font 'PakType Naskh Basic' from link below:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/paktype/files/latest/download

    For Quranic text sample, use text from link below:
    https://svn.code.sf.net/p/paktype/code/Fonts/Deployment/Sura-Fatiha.html

    I hope this bug is fixed as soon as possible because we Pakistanis need to compose standardized Quran in Indesign. Thank you.

  15. Index sorting: offering choices «letter by letter» vs «word by word» vs user defined

    When generating an index, InDesign has always use letters by letters sorting. It would be far useful if InDesign Index offer the choice between:
    a) letters by letters;
    b) Words by Words;
    or c) Custom user entry

    Having to manually fix multiple level of indexes is painful and make no sense at all with a computer generated content like an Index.

    PS: Affinity Publisher is using «words by words» by default.

  16. Hyphenation at page break while option »Hyphenate Across Column« is not selected

    InDesign 16.0.2
    InDesign 13.1.1

    The option not to "Hyphenate Across Column" in hyphenation settings does not seem to work reliably. Not in InDesign CC 2018 and not in InDesign CC 2021.
    Sometimes it is ignored and sometimes it is taken into account. See the appended screenshots.
    With each recomposing of the text/stories, the behaviour can change: sometimes this way and sometimes that way.
    Please make the behaviour computable.

    Kind regards
    Martin Fischer

  18. Variable Font: top of "U" wiggles as you change weight (FreeType bug)

    1. Download and unzip https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b6k0izkm5ma3dy/200719-AdobeVFBug.zip?dl=1

    2. Install the font from font/DaikonVF-mini.ttf

    3. Run InDesign 15.1.1

    4. Type "AU" and choose the Daikon VF font

    5. Click the Variable Font button and move the weight slider between the extreme locations. Observe how the top of "U" "wiggles" (jumps up and down). This is shown in videos/DaikonVF-InDesign-15.1.1.mp4

    6. The same problem occurs in Illustrator 24.2.1 and I have logged it at https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/40945024-variable-font-bug-wiggling-top-of-u

    7. The same problem occurs in DTL OTmaster 7.9 and in FontView 2019 (an open source app built from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontview ) — both apps use older versions of the FreeType library.

    8. The problem no longer occurs in…

  19. Bugs with Whitespaces in Justification’s Composer when work with Thai language and other issues

    As my report on bug with text wrapping in 2020 version (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38998636-bug-with-world-ready-composer-when-use-space-like). Many of issues were fixed, but some still remain.

  20. Footnotes Issue

    Dear Sir or Madame,

    since the automatic End-/footnotes have been implemented in indesign we have critical issues working with the program.
    We are a publishing company with several designers and do also publications with different languages (CC2014 was the last version, which worked without problems, as there have not yet been automatic footnotes).
    If we have a publication/book with two or more languages we work with different layers in indesign – for each language one layer. The problem starts, when we have also footnotes to work with. After finishing the layout in the first language, we have to duplicate the…
