Typekit font turns "Dit aut om" into "EïLîáįJĤ".

Synced font: Raleway

Version of Indesign: Fully updated CC as of 2018-11-28

OS: Windows 7

As shown below, the font appears normally when searching for it - also indicating that it's been synced from the cloud. Previously I had some trouble with the regular version not showing in this menu. It only appeared after choosing medium (or some other version) and then choosing regular from the font style drop down menu below the main font/search-thingy.

This is what a standard Lorem Ipsum-place filler text looks like in Raleway Regular.

If I flip the font over to Raleway Medium the text shows without any hickups.

What gives? Any suggestions what causes this and/or how I can fix it?

The matter resolved itself. Weirdly enough. Had it for a few months - whined about it here - then it magically resolved itself. Yay!

Can you still check if you had another version of this font installed?

That is "the usual suspect" for glitches such as these. On the other hand, if you have a version installed, surely TypeKit would (a) overwrite it OR (b) not install the newer version alongside the older one ...

Haven't previously had Raleway regular, but as visable from the font menu above - for a while, I tried and used a "free version" of Raleway medium italic. Odd that it's still there. I removed it. The system font folder doesn't contain any Raleway fonts at all and I searched the entirety of the local drive for "raleway" but found no instances left.
