Italicized semicolons not exporting into pdf!

I've been using ID for some time now (my version is up to date) but recently semicolons won't export into the pdf I need to create for my job. I get a "no glyph" symbol in the pdf even though everything looks fine in ID. Any ideas?

I suspect that you've activated it through Google Fonts, but it also seems to be available through Adobe. A lot of problems simialr to this seem to clear up when using the version of fonts from Google activated from Adobe instead.

Ok. You are on Windows 10, not on Mac OS, and you also had this issue.

FWIW: Never could replicate the issue on my German Windows InDesign 17.0.1.

So: can you remember how this TrueType font initially was installed?

Was it perhaps installed for a particular user only for example? Instead for all users?

"Any ideas?"

Hi Kay,

well, yes. We already had reports like that more than five times here in the forum…

Could be that there is a bug with InDesign 17.0 or 17.0.1 on Mac OS with installed TrueType fonts in the system after you updated the system.

Three different things you can try:

[1] Uninstall the fonts and reinstall them.

[2] Uninstall the fonts and move the font files to the Fonts folder of InDesign's Application folder.

[3] If you find the font on Adobe Fonts uninstall a possible TrueType version and substitute the missing font with activated ones from Adobe Fonts.

I hope that option [1] will do it for you!

Here a sample of the issue from one of the other discussions:

Does that look familiar?

Then see in my list of possible solutions [1] and [2] or this workaround in [3] .
