When I change the typeface from Garamond Premier Medium Italic to Semi Bold Italic, the characters change. Why?

Correct answer Eugene Tyson

Where did you get the font from?

All characters seem good here

I would say to install the font again

If you have already installed via Adobe Fonts:

Deactivate in Adobe fonts -
log out on Creative Cloud on the Website -
Log out on your desktop app -

In InDesign go to the menu bar and choose Help> Log out

Reboot

Then log backin online - desktop app - InDeisgn menu bar Help> ensure you're logged in

Make sure you are using fonts from the same location: either locally on your computer, or from Adobe Fonts, not both and not mixed.

You can check in your Find/Replace fonts and compare the paths. Fonts on your computer will have a file path, while those loaded from Adobe fonts will be so indicated.

Garamond Premier Pro has been around since the early 2000's, so you might have had it on your computer at some point in the past, but may now be conflicting with the cloud versions.

That being said, there's benefit in doing a purge of your font caches, especially if a font is getting confused, or a cache simply becomes corrupted. (Search for "How do I clear Adobe font cache?")

The advice on clearing font caches says to delete the Library/Caches/ATS fonts folder. There is no such folder.

As far as I know I'm only activating the font from Creative Cloud. However there have been other peculiar behaviors, so I'll try closing it completely and restarting.

The Connect Fonts app does indeed have a font cache cleaner (under File menu). Hopefully it helps with your issue. but it's also a good regular practice.

Yes I need to do that more often. I closed all the Adobe fonts and reopened InDesign. Seems OK now.
