1. Using text variables causes highlighting text in PDF to be inconsistent/scrumbled

   When exporting to PDF from a file including text variables, it results in text in pdf that it is impossible to highlight correctly. and therefore - it is impossible to mark PDF comments on it. Screenshot and PDF files are attached.
   It only happened with ARIAL font, and only in certain book files (that were created in previous ID version). I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.
   When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.
   I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the 'Text After' field in Bullets & numbering tab in a Paragraph style, and would show on book only when typing something (I used space) using this paragraph style. This kind of conditional text had the same effect on PDF text, and when removed - PDF got exported fine.

2. Shortcuts messed up after update to CC

   InDesign CC 12.1.0.56 (2017.1)
   MacOS Sierra 10.12.5

   (1) The default super- and subscript shortcuts (cmd+shift+= and ctrl+cmd+shift+=) do not work on mac num keyboard. Had to change shortcuts.
   (2) When using the default shortcut for italics (cmd+shift+I) the text is changed to "Heavy Italic" instead of "Italic" with the (legal) Avenir Next font family.

4. In-Design still doesn't support the Automated Numbers in "Devanagari Script" Indic Language Marathi & Hindi

   Hello Team, since i am using In-design for my work almost everyday, and a die hard fan for using Unicode fonts for Indian Language (JFYI I mostly work in Hindi + Marathi languages and Devanagari Script used by both these languages) and I use many fonts including that of Adobe and locally developed Unicode fonts

   the Major issue I am facing is In-Design still doesn't support the Automated Numbers in "Devanagari Script" they still appear in English / Roman Numerals, which is a very annoying thing to see page numbers & auto numbered lists Showing Numbers in English / Roman Numerals, (here i am choosing a font which does have numerals designed in Devanagari Script)

   Moreover, if I try to use the same Unicode font in CorelDRAW / QuarkXpress, it gives me proper & desired output i.e. to say, I get proper Devanagari Numerals for automated things like TOC & Index entries, so also the most crucial page numbers & numbered para lists

   Few months ago I have also put in a "uservoice" request hoping to resolve this issue, but its still pending,

   (Here is the link for https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/40142305-using-unicode-indic-devnagri-script-font-for-autom )

5. OpenType features bug, missing glyphs on PDF export and convert to outlines

   I've run into a bug when converting text to outlines, and PDF export, relating to OpenType Features.

   I have a font, Chartwell, that has worked perfectly in InDesign for 13+ years. I recently received this bug report from a customer, but am able to recreate it on my end.

   In InDesign’s UI, everything still seems to work correctly. However, when exporting a PDF or converting the text to outlines, some glyphs disappear completely. (See image)

   The font uses complex Discretionary Ligatures to pull off substituting pie chart shapes. The issue doesn't appear for all discretionary ligatures, but something about this specific feature code is triggering something in InDesign? I’ve done some debugging, but can’t find the exact thing that is triggering it, although it may be related to changing text colors breaking context in a substitution.

   I believe the issue in InDesign, since this hasn’t been an issue in the past, doesn’t show up in Illustrator, and only happens on PDF export and creating outlines. I also believe I’m following the OpenType Feature spec correctly. (See second image for a simplified example of the feature code)

   I've created a simplified example InDesign file and OTF that shows the issue. I’m happy to send this over or talk directly to engineers, or help debug this further. Thanks

   More about the font in question: https://www.vectrotype.com/chartwell

6. Not all fonts are collected in a package.

   This is for InDesign 14.0.2 x64

   To reproduce the issue, package any file and be sure the include fonts option is ON.

   Expected result is, as it ever was, that all fonts used in the document will be included in the "Fonts" folder of the resulting packaged file.

   Actual result is that some or all of the fonts are omitted.

8. Type 1 error when opening InDesign file not reflected in Find/Replace Fonts window

   I now regularly get a pop-up blue box error message regarding Type 1 fonts in the files I'm working in. Example: "Your document contains 6 Type 1 fonts." However, if I open Find/Replace Font dialoge, the summary at top of window says "Type 1 fonts : 0". That error message is annoying AND incorrect -- unless the Find/Replace Fonts window is incorrect. Can these be updated to align their messages?
   I'm using InDesign v.17.0.1. on Windows 10 Enterprise

9. Application quits

   When I highlight text and go to the font menu, the application quits. This always happens the first time I do it. From then on, it works fine. Yet, it has become very annoying. I have a Mac running on High Sierra OS 10.13.2. I'm using InDesign 13.0.1.

10. Arabic

    Using Adobe Arabic font, and paragraph set to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer, when I copy in Arabic with a period at the end of the sentence, InDesign is interpreting the period as Roman/English text and placing it to the far right of the sentence, instead of at the end of the sentence (far left).

    This is new since I last worked in these files in March of this year.

11. InDesign False Ligatures Bug

    InDesign sometimes, seemingly randomly, replaces pairs such as hn, il, io, sy, ek, etc. with completely wrong glyph, such as accented Y, U, etc., when regular Ligature setting is applied. This has been a problem since CS5 and we recently had it occur in CC2015, so it is still there. Affected fonts have been many over the years, including licensed Adobe fonts. Fonts can be Open Type or PostScript. Language setting can be English US, UK, or seemingly anything else. 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. This is a long-standing problem which has been reported in forums various times and needs to be addressed. There is no sure fire way to reproduce the bug. Only thing that sometimes works is to brute force load/unload fonts until the problem occurs. It seems that once the problem occurs the first time it may then become more frequent on that computer. I know someone who has even seen the effects of this problem in printed material (i.e., in a book they were reading).

14. indd 2022 - black font seperation incorrect in pdf export with some settings

    after the update to indd 2022 (which some idiot client editor did in the middle of a magazine before saving and thus up-versioning half the files) I have problems with pdf export. Since acrobat/distiller seems not to have been updated at the same time, I assume the problem is with indd.

    When exporting for print, indd exports black print as rich black - regardless of the indd settings - when the export to pdf settings /output / convert to destination (profile) is set.
    If I export with / convert to destination (preserve numbers) then black is exported correctly. This is obviously bunk.
    thw workaround (half a day to find this) is to export with convert to destination (preserve numbers). Caveat all images needed to be converted manually before export, as a specific output profile was necessary.

    needless to say everything worked as expected before the 'update'.

    Seperation is determined with Acrobat CC preflight ink separations.

    I can reproduce the error with a new document, with text cmyk 0 0 0 100 /adobe preset output all blacks accurately /, exported to pdf converted to ISO coated.
    With "preserve numbers" the separations in Acrobat are correct, without preserve numbers rich black is exported.

    System
    AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
    RAM 64,0 GB
    Windows 10 Pro
    Version 21H1
    OS build 19043.1348

15. Wrong font case in TOC when using character style with upper case

    When generating table of contents it fetches the text and ignores paragraph styles, but character styles are left. This must be a misstake.

    I want TOC to be title case and chapter headings to be upper case that is set in a paragraph style. So far so good. But I am adjusting minor words (and, at, etc) with a character style. And for those words the upper case setting also shows in TOC.

    To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

    If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

    We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

17. Setting maximum limit above 2000 for "Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than:" does not work

    By default, the InDesign preference General > Always subset fonts with glyph counts greater than is set to 2000 characters. However, there are many popular fonts that have many thousands of glyphs beyond that and changing this number to a higher glyph count to accommodate those fonts does not work. The fonts are still subset even if the PDF export setting is set to "Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than 0%."

    Fonts to try:
    Garamond Premier Pro
    Arno Pro

    This is a major problem for files intended for print that require fonts to be fully embedded.

18. Diacritic Positioning on English Fonts

    We currently need to use Diacritic positioning on english fonts and in the 2025 version this isn't supported. So you could technically set the Diacritic position, but it's not showing the result on the document. However, this still works only on middle eastern fonts like Hebrew.

    This worked perfectly fine in the 2020 version for english fonts as well as middle eastern fonts. After the update to the 2025 version, the Diacritic positioning support for english fonts isn't working.

    We attached two pictures from the 2020 version where this is working, and the same document from the 2025 version where the feature isn't supported - again you can set the position but this isn't reflected in the document.

    Steps to reproduce: Select an english font (For example: Adobe Garamond Pro). Try to add a diacritic mark on a letter. Now try to position the mark with Diacritic positioning - this will not be reflected in the document.

    Expected result: Diacritic positioning should work in english fonts, like it worked in previous InDesign versions.

    Actual result: Can set up Diacritic position, but it does not actually position the sign relative to the letter but stays in place.

    We currently need to use Diacritic positioning on english fonts and in the 2025 version this isn't supported. So you could technically set the Diacritic position, but it's not showing the result on the document. However, this still works only on middle eastern fonts like Hebrew.

    This worked perfectly fine in the 2020 version for english fonts as well as middle eastern fonts. After the update to the 2025 version, the Diacritic positioning support for english fonts isn't working.

    We attached two pictures from the 2020 version where this is working, and the same document… more

20. PDF with Identity-H encoded fonts not rendering in 2020

    PDFs with certain Identity-H encoded fonts do not display in InDesign 2020 (Windows, v 15.1.2), but work fine in InDesign 2019.

    The issue seems to be font encoding related – InDesign 2020 doesn’t like the Museo Sans 500 (and some other OpenType) fonts being embedded into the PDF using the Identity-H encoding. If the encoding is changed to ANSI encoding, then the PDFs render fine.

    Preflighting the PDF shows the problem fonts as Type 0.

    Conversion of the PDF using Acrobat to PDF/X appears to rebuild the PDF in such a way as InDesign is able to render it (although it increases the file size from 10Kb to 500Kb)
