Only first two characters of three-digit automatic page numbers are in Old Style.

Question

Just discovered an issue that I found someone else had last year on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/1k0i25a/old_style_figures_not_consistently_applied_in/

I have page numbers automatically added to the foot of each page set in Garamond Premier Pro Caption using OpenType Old Style figures. All fine until I reach pages 100+. The last digit reverts to Lining, not Old Style.

Illustrated is the automatic page number, with the same digits entered into a separate text box (reversed as selected when I screen-grabbed).

This is not a charater style or Drop Cap paragraph style. Something related to the “Current Page Number” special character (⌘3). If I add another Current Page Number to the page, the same error occurs…

Any ideas?

This is a known issue. Either tick this checkbox (in advanced text preferences)

or change the paragraph style option (the paragraph style you use for page numbering) and switch from Adobe universal composer to Adobe paragraph composer.
