Hi Anyone who can help, 

We have received files from our global office in UK and its a brochure that has superscripts and subscripts in the copy.  Below is the screenshot of the issue, we have to manually type 2 for it to show as CO₂. No fonts are missing and we have updated our InDesign to 2020. Please help:

Correct answer Jongware

The font used by the office in the UK contains Unicode subscript characters. Your font -- even though its name is the same -- does not; therefore, your font is a different version. (Probably older but it also might be newer, if hardcoded subscripts were replaced by the OpenType feature.)

 

Ask your global office for a legal copy of the font -- which will solve this once and for all --, or manually replace these missing characters with InDesign's fake super- and subscripts.
