Hi friends,

I am encountering a couple of unusual things when I export from InDesign to PDF.

#1: The letter following the drop cap disappears!

Note: I did receive a warning that the glyph was not available when I used the paragraph style with the drop cap.

#2: Some periods near the text-frame edge also disappear.

Here is a screenshot of a page in PDF (converted to JPG):

And here is a screenshot of the same page in JPG where they did not disappear.

Any clues how to fix this?

Thanks!!

I tried the 2023 version, and I had the same issue.

I hate to give up, but it's better than wasting time.

This problem has existed for some time including 18.4 and 18.5. Try going back to 18.3 or 18.2.
