Character Alternates Contextual Menu not working in InDesign with Hebrew Support
Note the following checkbox:
Preferences > Advanced Type > Type Contextual Controls > Show for Character Alternates, Fractions, Ordinals and Ligatures
If checked, whenever a character is selected a contextual menu with alternates should appear (if supported by the font, of course).
It's working in the English (International) version, but not in the English (Hebrew Supporting) version.

Where are the rest of my weights?????

Issue Report: Kerning Not Applied with Ligatures Enabled in InDesign 2024/2025 (Regression from 2023
Description:
A kerning issue occurs in Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 when using ligature-supported fonts like Microsoft Uighur Font. Manual kerning adjustments fail to apply when ligatures are enabled. This problem does not occur in InDesign 2023, where disabling ligatures allows kerning to function as expected.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Font Setup: Use Microsoft Uighur Font in InDesign 2024/2025. (I use my personal font)
2. Text Input: Type a word containing the ligature اللہ (e.g., any two Arabic text).
3. Enable Ligatures: Ensure ligatures are turned on (Character panel > Ligatures: ON).
4. Apply Manual Kerning: Attempt…1 vote -

I cannot post a .zip here apparently, so I've put my InDesign file.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a character style that ONLY sets the font to bold.
2. put down a glyph twice, I used the AE glyph (GID/CID 138).
3. For one, apply bold manually.
4. For the other, apply the bold character style.
5. Open the Find/Change Glyph menu and enter the GID/CID used, along with the font and bold style.Expected Result:
Both of the glyphs would be foundActual Result:
Only the glyph without the character style applied will…2 votes -
Backwards apostrophe
The "right-single-quote" mark (i.e. apostrophe) in InDesign is rendering backwards, ONLY with the font that I'm using (Acme Gothic). The apostrophe is correct with other fonts, and on other Adobe products (Illustrator and Photoshop). It's specifically when using this font, and in InDesign. It's even using the correct character (’) but it's appearing backwards. It also exports backwards in a PDF as well. I'm using Adobe InDesign 2020 on a Macbook Pro.
1 voteThe ’ for the font Acme Gothic has been set to Mirrored in your text frame, that’s why it is rendering backwards.
To change all instances of this, highlight it with the mouse, right-click, the choose ‘Load Selected Glyph in Find’. The Find/Change dialog opens with the selected glyph already in the Find Glyph field – its Unicode ID is 201B. To change the Glyph to the non-mirrored one, just type 2019 in the Unicode ID field . Then click Change All. It will change all instances of the mirrored apostrophe with the non-mirrored apostrophe.
Hope it helps.

Please fixz Indesign so that the font (Source sans pro) has all options. It changes itself to Source sans Pro (OTF) and then has only light
Fonts missing in Indesign but they work OK in Illustrator and in Affinity Designer. If I drop down the menu every time to more fonts they seem to appear for that instance.

Type is shifting inside text box upon moving.
I've been noticing when I use the type tool, I can fill it as normal. Style things with the appropriate fonts/colors but should I move the box it self to a new location the spacing above the font will grow or shrink and shift everything inside that text box. It almost acts like it is adjusting like it has text flow around an image feature selected. Sometimes remove all the styles then re-applying them will fix it but this is issue had been annoying me for maybe the past 2 months.

Hover Scrolling Disabling
PLEASE introduce an option to disable hover scrolling on selection. If I have selected a text box and want to scroll down to align options in Properties, I always end up changing the leading, language, font, etc. I don't know anyone that would want to use hover scrolling to make those changes. Maybe click and drag like the other apps would work. Please look into this issues as it has been years and this has not been fixed.

Till yet InDesign CC does not recognize some common Arabic Marks
Till yet InDesign CC does not recognize some commonly used Quranic Arabic marks like uni08F0, uni08F1 and uni0F82, though these are added to Unicode several years ago. Images, test file and test font "Uthman" are added.
First image shows these marks.
Second image shows their correct placement above or below the letters in MS Word and the wrong result in InDesign CC.
Test font "Uthman" and test indesign document are attached.1 vote -
Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts
Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts.
When I open Indesign, the fonts I previously downloaded are nonexistant which makes working with my document impossible! This happens at least once a week and persists after multiple uninstalls, system restarts and re-installs. Sometimes, it does not sync (or only some fonts sync) even after logging in again.
On a side note, Adobe CC downloader constantly logs me out.
With all the--excessive--background processes adobe now forces us to run you would think there shouldn't be an issue. I am more than happy to provide feedback and system information…

Indesign 2020 doesn't convert older InDesign files so they are useable
When I open older InDesign files (pre-2019) in 2020, the program hangs and I get the spinny wheel and have to force quit. It also doesn't load italic version of system font Palatino. The workaround is to open them in 2019, why can't 2020 open older files properly?
