@Dave Creamer of IDEASYou can turn off this behavior in DIN by turning off Contextual Alternates. This particular version of DIN has some Unicode glyphs for e.g. U+2461 CIRCLED DIGIT TWO or U+24EB NEGATIVE CIRCLED DIGIT ELEVEN. It also has the facility to create a circled digit for any value of twenty or less (which will auto-substitute NEGATIVE CIRCLED DIGIT ELEVEN whenever it finds (11),if Contextual Alternates is turned on).​@default2o4km1iirzlj, you can find the Contextual Alternates setting in the flyout menu of the Character panel, under “OpenType”.

I cannot duplicate the problem.Does it happen on new files or just an existing one?If the problem occurs with just the text shown, can you upload your Word and InDesign documents (without any other content).
