Sanskrit Text Appears Garbled in InDesign – Font Conversion Issues

[Grundoon Groundhog]

I am working on an article that includes Sanskrit text. I have tried two different Adobe Sanskrit fonts (Two Devanagari Sanskrit and Tiro Devangari Sanskrit). I have flowed the text from Word and converted the fonts. I have copied the text from a Plain Text document , pasted it in place, and converted the fonts. According to the widow of the author, in all these cases, the text becomes garbled and unreadable. Must I use a Unicode font instead? Why aren't the Adobe fonts simply converting the characters as they should?

I hope others have had and solved this problem.

Did you change the composer? Try using Adobe World-Ready Composer. I tried it on your document and the results seem to be better.

Thank you thank you thank you! Just applying the World Composer to the Sanskrit text has solved the problem!
