Arabic font connected in Indesign but with hairline spacing

[MSDStudio]

Hello Adobe Fam,

I'm having some issues with the font I'm using. This is Frutiger Arabic and it is usually not this extended which I'm wondering why this would happen. But there are hairline spaces in between the letters although connected. Any thoughts on how I can resolve this issue? (See image attached)

Many thanks 🙂

Hi Maece,

are you using Optical Kerning on the text?

Don't do this. Use Metrical Kerning instead.
