P: Alternate Type Glyphs Not Working in 2023 (v24.x)

I'm using Pauline Didone Variable in PhotoShop 2023 and cannot get some sets of Glyphs to work using any of the methods: "live" Suggested Glyphs, Type Layer Properties, Glyphs window. I've tried checking/unchecking Missing Glyph protection.

For example, I cannot choose the an alternate lower case r from the Swash set (nothing happens); a bullet ornament from the Swash set turns into a '4'.  The affected groups include ornaments, Stylistic Set 1, and Swashes, to name a few. Some sets work fine.

In Illustrator—same issue but only for some Glyph sets. The ampersand, specifically, will not change.

In InDesign everything seems to work fine. So the Glyphs aren't missing.

I have never encountered this issue (to this extreme) with an Adobe Font.

Is there a workaround aside from typing in InDesign?

Thank you!

If that is possible, please report the issue and attach the font.

Meant to say the glyphs when you highlight the relevant letters that have an alternate version

hi @ktaki thnaks for the advice but I have already done this and the glyphs appear when you highlight the relevant and in the glyph panel. The problem is selecting them nothing happens, the letter remains the same. Do you mean post the font file?

Please make sure the option is on in Preferences. The default is off. If you still do not see the alternate glyphs on canvas, please share the font that shows the issue. Thanks!

Issue still not fixed for me. Version 24.1.1. Using a font created in font forge which works perfectly across all other programmes but not here. Glyphs showing when I highlight the letter but when I click them nothing happens, remains on original letter. Last version it works properly is 22.2

Thank you for the report, @KuraHarabura !

@csdesignco can you confirm his findings?

Hello! 2 of 3 issues are solved for me:

1 - I can insert alternates from the Glyph panel again 

2 - I can switch between alternates while typing from the pop-up

Thirs issue remains - text written in older PS version using alternates...

goes back to default characters when clicking on it:

Hi, @csdesignco @none of the 3 issues described by @KuraHarabura are fixed? Is that font an Adobe Font?
