Question

Bug on small caps and elzevir after footnote call with universal adobe composer.

char style is translated on characters of a text line after a footnote call in InDesign 2024.

For example, imagine an elzevir style applied to last number of 4 « 9999 ». If there is a footnote call number less than 10, correct style is applied to the fourth 9 (1 note = 1 char.). If the footnote call number is between 10 and 99, the style is translated 1 time to the left and applied to the third 9 (note number considered as 1 char instead of two ?). If the footnote call number is higher than 99, the style is translated two times to the left, so the second 9 is elzevir instead of the fourth one. Same thing with small caps. There is no bug with bold or italic. If Adobe standard composer is used instead of universal adobe composer, there is no bug.

This bug is critical when composing multilingual books (as I do) with, for example, arabic or hebraic sentences intext.

Hi there, 

Thank you for reaching out. Would you mind telling us the version of InDesign installed on your machine and the details of your operating system? Is it possible for you to share a short video describing the issue? Does it only happen with Arabic or Hebrew sentences?

 

We will try our best to investigate the issue.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

No need to write Arabic or Hebrew. It appens on latin characters. I'm using InDesign v19.3 (français [Maroc] for universal languages support) with Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 on a Macbook Pro M2. I Joined a screenshot but I can send an indd file if needed. (not possible to join it on this forum)
