Issues with typing special characters.

I can't add symbols like !, @, #, $, or % afterwords. The text font shrinks when I press Shift + 1 for an exclamation mark. The same occurs with other Shift + symbols.

Hi @K-Ten ,

hm, are there GREP styles applied to the paragraph or the applied paragraph style that applies a character style that shrinks the characters?

Check if these shortcuts are assigned to Paragraph or Character styles by any chance. Although it would be bizarre if all of them happened to be assigned to various styles.

That's where I went with this question, too, @leo.r, unlikely as it seems.

@K-Ten, is this happening in one file, or all files?

What do you mean by "shrinks"? Please post a screenshot.

What font - does it have those glyphs?
