snippet not retaining font
As per the Adobe forum post here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/font-not-embedding-into-snippet/m-p/13153510#M489639) , I've added a form/text field into a snippet, but when placed the font used is replaced by Myriad... the font I want is a custom TTF. Is there a recognised issue here?
If I place the *.idms file with that TextBox formfield to the same document where I exported it from all is working good. But if I do a new document and place it there the font family definition reverts to Minion Pro. The style's name will remain. E.g. Semibold if I do this with your…

Montserrat Font Constantly trying to load in InDesign
Whenever I open an InDesign file the background task starts up and it is Montserrat Bold trying to load. This occurs no matter what file I have open and whether or not the file uses the font being loaded.

Font menu on the Control bar - using the keyboard to replace missing fonts fails
If you attempt to use the keyboard to amend the missing [square bracketed] font in a given instance, by typing the name, using the cursor keys to select and then pressing enter to confirm, it reverts back to the missing font; rather than the normal behaviour (when a font isn't missing) of designating the font/weight chosen.

"Same" font sizes, but they're not
In the most recent version of indesign, when I copy or duplicate a text box, the font size says it's the same, but it is about 2-3 points bigger. Even after eyedorpping the previous style, it doesn't change. I have to manually make a new text box, recreate the font details before copying and pasting it into the box.

Auto-activate fonts tries to activate a font that doesn't exist, forever
With the new auto-activation of fonts, my InDesign seems to try to activate 'Bureau Grot', which so far as I can tell, isn't an Adobe font. Does it constantly in the background and there's no way to cancel it/tell it it's barking up the wrong tree...

Did not have this issue with previous version, produced 2 reports within a month one before the update and one after.

What happens in the spread:
Page 1 contains Header 1 and footer refers to H1
Page 2 contains Header 2 and footer refers to H2
Page 3 contains no header and footer…1 vote -
dropbox sync font file issue
InDesign 15.1.1 creating font sync issue with Dropbox where it repeatedly changes the AdobeFnt22.lst file again and again while Dropbox tries to sync the file folder. This causes the editing process to be exceptionally sluggish and unresponsive when attempting to edit files saved to Dropbox folders. This does not happen on files saved to local drive (e.g. desktop) only Dropbox folders, and only in the most recent update. Previously it has not been an issue.

Font baseline grid
The baseline grid start value for Open Sans is different if the font is used from Adobe than if it's used from Google.
This results in changes in layout which is very annoying. Also, when telling indesign to fit the box to text, the box is unnecessary larger at the top.
Before the 17.0 InDesign update that wasn't the case.Someone else complained about this in November - https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/text-boxes-need-to-be-enlarged-after-update/m-p/... - the issue there is marked as solved, but it wasn't solved actually.
The issue started with 17.0, actually i was really hoping it would have been addresses in this…

InDesign should apply variating substitutions from rclt
Variable fonts may contain location-dependent substitutions, but the
rvrn
feature runs too early for many real-world substitutions. The solution in font-making land has been to use therclt
orrlig
features instead, but at least the former is not supported by InDesign. This is a major headache for e.g. Arabic.Technical discussion about this at

Fonts not previewing correctly when choosing different font from menu
Running InDesign v19.0, but had exactly the same issue in previous versions -
If I want to swap out an existing font for a new one in a text block in my project, the font does not preview instantaneously or correctly when I am scrolling through the Character menu. Sometimes, the font disappears completely, leaving only black blocks to preview. When I press return the text block does update to the new font but not being able to live preview is making it extremely hard to make design decisions and also see if the chosen font will fit the space…

unasked for font changes in 15.0.2
It isn't so much an idea as a major problem. I upgraded to 15.0.2 yesterday and now fonts are being changed involuntarily and when I go into find font, I can't change them back. The names say they are there but the file looks like ****. I've gone back to InDesign CC 2019 to work, because I am completely stuck in CC 2020.

Activating Font
My Indesign will randomly start trying to activate source sans pro fonts and will not ever finish activating. I can't cancel it, I can't go online to adobe fonts and decative and then active because it says there is a conflict. Because it's syncing it won't export any of my files until it's done ... and it's never done. The only way I get it to work is to force quit Indesign and it will work until it randomly starts trying to activate it again and the cycle repeats.

ID 2020 15.1 - All text variables (including page numbers) replaced by "ss" text
Just updated to ID 2020 15.1 and found a bug which makes the program unusable forcing me to immediately downgrade.
When I open on of my ID documents created in previous version of ID, all of my defined text variables as well as page numbers are corrupted and replaced by the "ss" text. Changing the style has no effect. I can create page number based on the 'Basic Paragraph' style but when i choose any other previously created style, the number changes to 'ss'.
Even the variable field preview shows 'ss' text instead of variable name.
The same document…222 votesThe fix is now publicly available in the latest InDesign update, 15.1.1
