Hi All

I could not resolve the justification issue while using single line composer and the word should not be break at the end of the paragraph. I have not used any word space between the word "my" in my document. Here I do not want to split the content. could you please check and let me know this is bug? or can resolve? how? (tracking not allowed, should not remove Discretionary Line Break, Shift break not allowed)

I have attached the screenshot and IDML file here for troubleshoot.

Regards,

Sathis

@rob day The problem shows even with Minion Pro in 2023. And I remember now that I've seen this before a while ago. When you remove the discretionary line-break characters from six-year-old the text flows correctly. Those characters don't make sense there, it seems to me. InDesign never breaks words before a hyphen. The problem that the OP sees shouldn't occur, of course, but in this case it's easy to avoid.

Thanks peter, I did not notice the discretionary line-breaks. Removing them works, but the Single line setting is as expected horrible:

It's only a crime if you get caught, right? ;7)

Oh, it's still a crime all right! But if you don't get caught, then there are no consequences. So I guess you'd need to ask what's more important to you - moral rectitude, or staying out of trouble?

Also 1000x thanks for the shortcuts, David, I can't believe that it never occured to me that those shortcuts would exist. I'll use them all the time, now that I know they are there.

@SathishSekar_ -- I think you missed @jmlevy's reply of the 14th, the first reply to your query. Please check if his solution works for you.

@Peter Kahrel it is not working; I want to know actual error details.

You should have reported that jmlevy's suggestion doesn't work.

As to error details, InDesign never gives you those unless it's caused by a script. And when InDesign crashes you could check the crash logs. But for general non-fatal malfunctions you'll be in the dark. @rob day suggested that it's a font problem (and so did @jmlevy, though indirectly), which I think is correct, and that's probably as close to 'error details' as you'll get.

To make further tests more precise, please post you ITC Berkeley Oldstyle Std font. Even if some tester has that font, it may not have the same (internal) version number.
