    Maybe that the font does not support Arabic text and RTL?

    Exactly what do you mean by “suddenly font get crashed?”

    What your screen shot shows is that text formatted in the font is getting substituted. Apparently InDesign believes that the font isn't installed or has been corrupted in some manner.

    If you are running on MacOS, open FontBook and ascertain that the font is indeed still installed and not corrupted.

    If you are running on Windows, likewise check that the font is installed via the Fonts Control Panel.

    Thanks, Dov. GTK.

    Question: How "new" is new? (What OS did they change?)


    Don't recall with MacOS 10 release gave up the ghost on resource fork-based TrueType fonts. Sorry!
