Hi,
I wish there is a feature Composite Fonts, Asian Binding and Text reading from right to left function can be including in the North American InDesign? Because it's easy to set a have multiple languages instead need to switch to different InDesign language.
Thanks

FWIW: All locale versions of InDesign would benefit from that feature.
But yes, see into Marc Autret's script FontMixer for creating Composite Fonts:

I did try and the tool doesn't work for the latest InDesign version.

Hi @iampurple ,
did you contact @Marc Autret ?
What was the latest version of InDesign where FontMixer was working for you?
And what is your operating system?

Hi @Laubender , @_Marc_Autret_
Here is showing error, I'm not sure is it because I used International InDesign version that already has Composite Font? I'm using latest Window and InDesign version.
I'm trying to find an easy for everyone to combine fonts without install other InDesign version.
Many thanks

Hi @iampurple
Thanks for your feedback. FontMixer still works in regular InDesign CC versions (incl. 2023 / 18.x) but I don't know what may happen in special versions. According to the displayed error message, the property compositeFonts is not available (?), while the script needs to get access to it at the Document or Application level.
Maybe your InDesign version doesn't expose this feature. Sorry.
Best,
Marc
