Question

Disappearing Character

A single character U+06DD is no longer appearing in my Adobe InDesign exported PDF's. It views properly in InDesign CS5 ME and prints properly, but when it is in text exported as a PDF for Print, it disappears. I recently switched from InDesign CS4 ME to InDesign CS5 ME and that could possibly be the cause, but the real question is, how do I get it back? What could be making it disappear?

    HJ,

    in <http://www.decodeunicode.org/u+06DD> I see a sample and some of my fonts (Arial, Times New Roman) tell me they know that glyph, but there seems to be no representation that PopChar can show me.

    Anyway, I guess your question should be asked in an InDesign forum.

    BTW, is the character handled OK by other software on that machine? Have colleagues with similar setups the same problem?

    - Michael

    This is the first time I've turned to forums for an answer and I am quite pleased and surprised at the quick helpful responses (I posted to multiple forums, not knowing who best to ask for help.) I am told by the Tasmeem plug-in people that my problem is a bug they are working on. It does seem that an article another forum pointed me to might be related to the issue as well. http://typophile.com/node/75936  So I guess my solution is to work from the harddrive I cloned just before upgrading until the folks upstairs fix things.

    Thanks!
