InDesign cc (2018): Page numbers in the Palatino nova pro Titling font (with wide zeros) display with very small, no or even negative spaces between individual figures (e. g. in page number 100). Same problem in Optima nova Titling. Can this malfunction be circumvented?

Correct answer Scott Citron

One should note that titling fonts are so named because they are specifically designed for TITLING. This fact might explain with Palatino Nova Pro Titling doesn't look good when used for page folios.

In my answer above, the second Tabular, I should have written Proportional. I’ve just looked at the font and they seem to be Tabular numerals.

Are you sure the tracking on the master’s page number is set to 0 when it is selected?

Thank you for your response.

The tracking is 0, but negative spacing occurs nevertheless, although in page numbers only. The font behaves as expected in normal text.

I tried to set the tracking to a high value (1000 units). It appears to me that this works in normal text as well as in page numbers, but with one exception: in page numbers, the (exceptionally wide) zero's are not affected by tracking. As an example 99 comes out with a wide spacing, while 100 has overlapping figures despite the high tracking value.
