Hi, I'm having a stange problem. When using a specific font: Lota Grotesque in all caps, some characters gets displayed upside down. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue with Lota Grotesque

If the problem goes away with any other (more common/standard) fonts, it's a font issue. You would have to use the Glyphs panel to map the faulty characters to correct ones (e.g. find the right-side-up capital A and manually replace an inverted one), but that means your text string is likely gibberish in every other sense. Maybe this font should just be avoided.

Yup, just a matter of using the glyphs panel. Switching our company's typeface isn't an option! Thanks.

Hi,

looks like there are any rules triggered that are perhaps for the Spanish language.

The rotated question mark at the beginning of a sentence. Or the rotated exclamation mark.

Only that it happens to you in the middle of some text and without using Spanish as language.

I've have language set to Swedish but have also tried other with the same issue. Is there any other setting that could affect this?

It's correct that it doesn't matter where, for example the question mark is. The same issue occures when I have only one question mark in a text frame.
