InD 2022 Mac: Issue in footnote when it is exceeding 9

[Aratype]

I am working on a book using InD 2022 Mac.  I noticed when footnotes exceeding 9 (I see the issue in footnote 10, 11, 12, etc.) the font that I use "Sakkal Kitab" has an odd aspect... Cf. the attached document.

Actually, letters dots are displaced to left or to right sides, etc.

I canceled a footonote before 10 and the footnote 10 becomes 9. The issue disappears!

I noticed the issue with only the font "Sakkal Kitab", when I change the font I have not this issue.

I contacted the font designer but I believe that's something to do with Indesign too.

TIA

Hi Aratype,

We are sorry for the trouble. We would request you to please share a few more details like-

• The OS and the InDesign version.
• Is it possible for you to share the font file with us so that we can check at our end?

OS: 11.6.6

InD: 17.2

We should have the same issue if we use Adobe Naskh.

I believe you can reproduce the bug with any text and when using Adobe Naskh

Thanks for sharing the info. Would you mind checking if you've any pending InDesign updates available on the Creative Cloud desktop? If yes, please update InDesign and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

I tested today InD 18.0 and unfortunately the issue is still there...
I hope more reactivity from Adobe, the issue is there since months now!

This is not serious! I already shared my InD file at 27th August!

You can reproduce the issue with your font Adobe Naskh as I show in the attached Screenshot.
Thank you.

I aded a new document using Adobe Naskh only, One can see the difference between footnotes before 10 and starting 10...

The issue is not only in footnote's text but in the words beside footnot insert inside the main text...

[Aratype]

18.1 is here and the issue is still there, it is becoming really a nightmare !

[Aratype]

18.2.1 is here and no solution! What a bunch of incompetents!
