Hi, I am having issues with Noto Sans Lao displaying correctly. Can someone work out what is happening? Thanks.

First, make sure that the World-Ready Composer is turned on. You can find it in the Justification dialog, or in the flyout menu of the Paragraph panel, or in the Justification section of your Paragraph style.  The "Adobe Paragraph Composer" can't render Lao text correctly. 

 

If that doesn't work, then check to see if Optical kerning is turned on (sometimes, in some fonts, it doesn't work at all with complex-script SE Asian text).  If it's neither of those... try posting an INDD sample of broken Lao text?

I see many posts related to this font on the forum. Did you check them out? One suggestion that I found was turning off the ligatures. Some of the discussions are listed below

Thanks Manan but these did not help. *Turning on World-Ready Composer*
fixed it. Thank you.
