Gujarati character errors in InDesign

I have an InDesign document that contains Gujarati characters. The paragraph uses the Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. Its language is Gujarati (India). Its font is Nirmala UI. Most of the characters are correct. However, in situations where two or three characters should be connected or superimposed, they are not.

 

I am using InDesign CS6. I have the Gujarati language pack installed in Windows 10.

 

Any suggestions about what else to do to fix this problem? Thanks!

    Hello Dan, 

    For Gujarati I usually use Adobe Gujarati. It's better, usually I don't find errors. 
    Let me know if it got fixed for you.

    Hello Gabriel, 
    Try Adobe Gujarati font. It's much better. And I don't remember well, try see if there are any differences when switching on/off the "Ligatures"

    Hello Dan,
    I have the same problem with this font and Gujarati. Have you resolved this somehow?

    Is your case really 100% the same as Dan-BTP's situation from 2019? CS6, and you're sure the World-Ready Composer is on? I am unaware of any Gujarati-specific bugs, but that doesn't mean much. One possibility is that the characters have Optical kerning applied; in some scripts (notably Arabic)  applying optical kerning can mess with necessary ligatures.

     

    If any detail doesn't match the original post (are you maybe using a newer version of ID? Have you checked to make sure that the World-Ready Composer is on?) then can you maybe post an image, and/or a sample file, showing your issue? It would make it much easier to figure out what's going on.

    Hi,

     

    I'll be happy to help. I'd recommend you to check if under Character window, language is changed to "Gujarati (India)".
    I have attached a screenshot as well for better understanding:

     

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks,

    Ashutosh

    Yes, language is Gujarati (India). That's what I said in my original message.
