Character menu numbers not appearing properly - how can I fix?

It might be better to use Open Type Fonts (OTF).

@Derek Cross I think that @noriek31938412 refers to a display problem in the character panel than actual numbers in the document.

Try to reset preferences: quit InDesign and relaunch it while holding down the Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys [Windows], Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Cmd keys [Mac] until you see a warning message asking for confirmation.

You're correct Derek, I was referring to the display problem in the character panel. The issue is still present whether I use TT or OTF fonts. So, I have a MAc and hel d down the keys you receommended and InDesign wouldn't even launch. Am I missing something? Thanks,

1. Hold down the Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Cmd key and do not release them
2. Select the InDesign icon in the Dock, right-click > open
3. Wait until the warning message
   
   
4. You can release the keys
5. Click on Yes

That worked and the character panel is unobstructed. Thank you!
