Different style of numbers in endnotes in text

[danielp14880953]

Hello,

I'm preparing a book with many endnotes. Now I've encountered a problem I've never had before: the numbers in the text are in different styles. The first letter is "caps" and the second not.

1. I've tried changing the format of the paragraph, to no avail.

2. Manually change them by putting the number in "caps". It looks the same.

What has happened?

Attached is a sample of "oddities".

I'm really lost here.

It looks like a font-related problem, in which ID is selecting mismatched number forms for... some reason.

I can't think of any specific fix (without having a sample file to dissect), but you might try this:

• Review the assigned Endnote paragraph style for any odd font settings.
• Change the base font for Endnote to any reasonable alternative, to see if the (Opentype?) faults persist.
• Create an entirely new Endnote style, from scratch (based on "No Paragraph Style") and assign it to both the Endnote process (in Endnote Options) and by direct application.
• Create a numbering Character Style and apply it via the Endnote style using a GREP or Line Style.

It seems like one of those should fix the glitch.

Or you can start with the basic "corrupt doc" fix: save the document to IDML, open that file, save it as INDD under a new name. Does the fault persist in that file?

Thank you. There is just no way that I will be able to fix this. I have given up. Can I hire you to do it? A whole book has been waiting for months, and now it is not even all endnote numbers, but only the one where I change anything in the sentence leading up to the number.
