Hello team,

We use Adobe InDesing CC with Myanmar unicode "Pyidaungsu font" and "Pyidaungsu Number font" which are official fonts by Myanmar Government. These fonts are supported by Microsoft and Apple platforms and no this issue happened in MS & Apple. In InDesign some Myanmar characters are not displayed properly as shown below and attached .indd file.

suppose to display - "စ္စ" when type [စ + (shift+F) + စ] with Pyidaungsu font. But InDesign displayed (စ္ စ).

suppose to display - "က္က" when type [က + (shift+F) + က] with Pyidaungsu font. But InDesign displayed (က္ က).

Link to font: https://myanmar.gov.mm/en/-/pyidaungsu-fonts-and-keyboards

Appreciate you can support us. Thank.

Well, when I test your file, here's what I get when I change the composer to the World-Ready Composer. You can find it in the Type menu, as well as in the Justification dialog (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J).

It's also in a few other places, including in the Justification section of your paragraph style:

If that's not what you see, you might want to try resetting your preferences?

Are you using the most recent version of InDesign? You should be on 16.4, which is CC 2021. I had many problems like this in CC 2020, which I had to work around in order to deliver a project. If you're not on 16.4, you should update if you can. When I found issues like this, I found that I could resolve them by finishing my layout, then going to Type -> Convert Bullets to Text, and then by whacking the Enter key at the end of each line,. I don't know if that will work for you, but it's how I managed to deliver.

This behavior is discussed over at indesign.uservoice.com in more than one bug report, that was reported by the devs as fixed. If you're on InDesign 2021, then maybe it's not fixed. Can you post an InDesign file which shows this behavior?

Hello Team

How to add Math Symbol in Pyidaungsu Myanmar Font?

Hello again! I'm not really sure what you're asking for, here. I am guessing that the bit you've drawn in by hand is what that fraction is supposed to look like? You've circled the part with a 1/3 fraction, and the 3 looks wrong to you? Is that the Math Symbol you're asking about? Because changing the way that symbol looks, like our conversation upthread about adding italics, is a font development question.

Or, if I'm wrong, please do give us a few more details so we can figure out how to help you.

It looks like applying the World-Ready Composer is what you need to do. It's a setting either in your Justification, orin the Justification section in your Paragraph Style.

Thank you for your reply.

Justification settings, paragraph style and character style setting do not
solve the problem.
