    InDesign 2020 includes a new text engine to support five new South East Asian languages: Thai, Burmese, Lao, Khmer, and Sinhala.
    Your documents can now include text composed in these languages.
    Hope you find this new feature useful in your work.

    We’re marking this “Feature Request” as Completed.

    Dear Ravi: I just updated my InDesign and checked how the Burmese fonts perform. The same issue with Unicode Burmese fonts still exist. It's not just about "supporting" the language in general, but to make sure the Unicode-compliant Burmese fonts display correctly in the entire Adobe Creative Suite. Without this, people working with Burmese scripts are having to resort to non-Unicode fonts (such as Zawgyi) to get the job done. This is not good practice for a tech community leader such as Adobe. Please do not treat this as a bygone subject and devote proper R&D resources to address it.
