Houschka Pro not displaying correct glyphs on A and W

Community Beginner ,
May 31, 2023 May 31, 2023

I have installed the Adobe version of Houschka Pro (previous postscript 1 font now being deprecated) and the distinctive glyphs for characters "A" and "W" are not appearing correctly – the apex and vertex should be curved, not pointed/straight. There is a pointed version on Houschka Alt Pro (by G-Type), but regular Houschka Pro should be curved. While I can access alternate glyphs, which are rounded, these are not included in a style set which means that I must manually change the letterform characters across my document – not acceptable.

It would seem that Adobe is using the Alt version (with alternate rounded glyphs) rather that the regular Pro version (with alternate pointed or straight apex and vertices) of Houschka??? Can you please clarify? Houschka is such a distinctive font and is chosen for these rounded characters, and used across my client's brand.

I think I may have solved the issue – "contextual alternates" seem to be defaulting under Open type settings. I have turned that off and now it displays corrently in InDesign – although not in the Extensis Connect Fonts preview.

I was going to advise checking the alternate glyphs but you found it.
Not all software detect the presence of alternate glyphs

 

I don't know Extensis connect, but they have an entry to display gliphs in their knowledge base. Maybe it helps!
