EAN-13 barcode font: what is the Illustrator equivalent of InDesign's World-Ready Paragraph Composer?

Question

Hi,I'm using an EAN-13 barcode font.In InDesign, I know exactly what makes it work: Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer.The problem is Illustrator.If I copy a working EAN-13 barcode from InDesign into Illustrator, it works correctly.But if I create a new text object in Illustrator from scratch, enter the same EAN-13 digits, and apply the same font, it does not work.So there is clearly some text/composition setting being carried over from InDesign, but I cannot find the equivalent option in Illustrator.What is the Illustrator equivalent of InDesign's Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer?Where can I enable it, or what Illustrator text setting do I need to use so that a newly created text object behaves like the one pasted from InDesign?Thanks!

Illustrator has the Every Line composer, which is the same thing. You can check whether turning on the Middle eastern options in the Illustrator preferences and then selecting the Middle Easter every line composer changes anything.

Apart from that: have you already closely compared all the character and paragraph settings in the text object that works to the one that doesn’t? What is the difference?
