Hello,
I've a strange problem:
I use the Google Font "Lora" in InDesign:
When I export the file in a pdf-document, the ":" and ";" are wrong (see the screnshot).
This is only the case in InDesign, all other Software (Illustrator, PowerPoint, Word...) don't have this error.
Does anyone know a solution?
I work on a MacMini M1 (this happens also on Intel iMac) with InDesign 2022 Vers. 17.0.1.
Hi Thomas,
I suspect a bug with InDesign version 17.0.1.
There are a lot of cases now in the InDesign forum where similar issues were discussed.
With a big variety of TrueType fonts downloaded from e.g. Google Fonts.
Fonts that had no issue before in earlier versions of InDesign ( or InDesign 17.0.1 on a Windows machine ) .
In principal there is nothing wrong with the TrueType font files.
The solution was to uninstall and re-install the fonts files again.
Or to make them available through

Is LORA an OT Font? Could you please try to delete/deactive the Google Font and then use this one?

Dear Joely,
Thank you very much for the link; my font was an "ttf" font.
The adobe "otf" font works fine!

Or to make them available through a Document fonts folder or the Fonts folder of the InDesign application.
To substitute them with the Adobe Fonts equivalent is quiet the same:
A new install or activation process in the case of Adobe Fonts.
