Hello everbody. I saw that other people have this problem too but so far there wasnt a solution.

 

There are fonts which work perfectly fine with all the other adobe apps but not in Animate and its driving me crazy. For some reason Animate cant get the kerning right:

 

In Indesign:

In Animate:

I am using a Mac with Sonoma 14.1.2 and Adobe Animate version 24.0.

 

Why, is that and what can I do about it? Playing around with the kerning settings doesnt change anything.

      This is happening because the type is set to static text vs dynamic text. I believe the static text puts every character in a box that's the same width and ignores proper letter spacing. You can change this by clicking on your text box with the selection tool and changing it in the properties panel under object. There's a dropdown box.

        I just tried. So. This is interesting: in the dropdown menue for choosing the operating system I actually cant choose Mac Os 14.x, which is Sonoma.

        the spacing between letters or characters in a piece of text to be printed.

        Currently this is a issue with j, p, g and q. This is basically because the strokes are down, and AdobeAnimate only accepts everything except for these letters. Idk why but this might be a theory.

          I can only say that there have been multiple reports about font issues with Animate on Sonoma.

           

          As far as I understand Sonoma is not an officially supported OS for Animate, but I may be wrong.

           

          Here is a quick search, which should show you a few threads, but I have never seen a meaningful answer:

          Yes, I saw that too and how you said, not really any usefull answers. So there is nothing I can do, just wait that Adobe maybe fix that one day?
