Hi,

during the work in a simple ID document with our "house font" OpenSans, suddenly I have two combinations of font (-styles):

 

 

The result seems to be is identical, no visual differences. But I can't choose the second one, which I had never before – (because) there is no font named "Open Sand Semibold"!

This font problem is a completely new phenomenon in ID 18! 

And no,  I have only one instance installed. No changes in the last months. 

 

Font management: mostly manual, no font manager.

 

And because ID 18 freezes by opening a very simple one-page-document (it's a disaster!), I'll try it with the previous version, I'm just installing 17.4.

 

I will report!
