Question

Diacritic positioning option gone in adobe's latest update (Adobe In-Design CC)

Hi everyone. I have a simple question. We work on an adobe In-Design middle East version. Diacritic positioning is a vital tool that we need in almost every paragraph. In yesterday's automatic update it just vanished or changed its position. We cannot figure out where it is now. it used to be in the following menu  

Windows>Type & Tables>Diacritic positioning... 

Any help... as we need to finalise a project by tomorrow evening

many thanks

    Hi there... 
    Found out one simple reason ... Diacritic positioning is more to do with language preferences when installing indesign ... If you want Diacritic positioning make sure you set up the following BEFORE you install in design:

    Adob CC >> Accounts (on top right corner of CC Desktop, under the cross)>>Preferences>>Apps (scroll a bit down to find) Default install language >> English یدعم العربیۃ 

    --Close Adobe CC Desktop >> open CC Desktop and check if the Default Install Language has been saved to above

    --Now install in design and you will find Diacritic positioning at the following:

    Windows>Type & Tables>Diacritic positioning

     

    In Case you cannot access Diacritic positioning ... Uninstall In-Design from CC Desktop >> Repeat above mentioned precedeure 

    Hope it resolves once for all... 

    Many thanks

      the only answer i have is using newer fonts. very new like not more than 5 years old.  so anything i did before i have to change fonts. or the font company has an updated version of the font which wroks. but this is an obsolute mess.

      Ctr+T you'll get to Character panel

      On the bottom part of this pannel you'll find diactric positioning controls

      It's written in Arabic and meant to say "Horizontal" and "Vertical".

      I have non ME edition and it works like was in old ME CS5.5.

      Thanks Sunil for your suggestsions. I have already been to these links and they talk about older versions of In-Design. even my previous version (2020) was different from these. And now it has installed 2021 version. And diacritic positioning option not to be found!!! 

       

      Thanks anyways ...

      You need to change the preference to middle-east. I think those options will appear.

      Try one more time.
