Hello,

Can someone please tell me how do I make Burmese/Zawgyi font recognize in indesign?

I am unable to find the .TTF file...

Please dont tell me to watch a video in another language.. I can barely speak english as you can see/read 😛

I have zero experience in indesign and I am doing this request on someone behalf.

 

Thanks

Hi Leonardo,

I know that the bug report comes from a user on MacOS, but we also have reports that it can happen on a Windows machine as well.

 

So try to go back to InDesign version 17.1 or 17.0.1.

 

That's the issue with a font installed that is not showing up in InDesign, but can be seen with other applications.

 

The issue with copy text from a PDF opened with e.g. Acrobat Pro DC could be a bug with Acrobat Pro DC.

See the following discussion in German at hilfdirselbst.ch :

 

MAC: Copy/Paste fehlerhaft seit 20039
Seit der neuen Version "Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Version 2021.011.20039" gelingt auf dem MAC (Catalina) das Kopieren/Einfügen aus PDF nach z.B. InDesign nicht mehr; Zeichen jenseits von ASCII wie "é" oder "ä" werden i.d.R. als Halbgeviert eingesetzt.

 

Nach einer Reihe von Tests verdichtet sich der Verdacht, dass ein Bug in den Acrobat hineingekommen ist, allerdings wie gesagt nur auf dem MAC.

Weiß jemand etwas darüber? Hat jemand evtl. einen Workaround?

 

Vielen Dank im voraus!

The OP there states that he can see the bug on a Mac only, but I am sure that it can happen on Windows as well.

The workaround for this: Save the PDF to a Word or RTF file and copy from that. Or place the text.

Nope. Not the same issue.

This is in a windows environment.

When you copy Burmese text from a PDF into InDesign.... It displays ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
