minimejdh1 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I just went into my Publisher v1 file to make a correction and letters were substituted with others (see attached for an example). How did this happen? Is there a setting I can change or do I have to go through each change throughout the document? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclast Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Hi! It seems that you inserted the "ti"-ligature where it is substituted now, right? Is this the same font you initially created the text with? Possibly this font, the text actually is written with, doesn't offer this ligature and substitutes it?

minimejdh1 Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I highlighted one of the words and checked typography. I didn't do anything knowingly. Previously it was fine, I exported and printed. When I opened to change date on the document I noticed the changes throughout certain words in the document. Not sure how this may have been introduced... I am not that advanced to try something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Are you Opening a Publisher file (.afpub) or a PDF you previously Exported? If it's a PDF, then ideally you would be using the native .afpub file for editing, instead. If you're using a PDF you lose information, such as Text Styles. And you can have problems like you've described if you use ligatures and allow font sunsetting when you Export. You need to tell Publisher not to Subset the fonts.

minimejdh1 Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 .afpub for sure. not from PDF. I wasn't using ligatures...Hi Walt...not sure what I am doing to cause this stuff. I just reopened the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclast Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It's only a supect, I don't really know what happened. But it seems obvious that there are ligatures substituted by other Glyphs: "tt" was substituted by "É", "ti" by "Ē" and whatever by "Ğ". Possibly those ligatures were inserted automatically as you created that document, because you had the Typography-function activated. But I can't really say that. Walt's suggestion sounds promising to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmcd Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 What was the source of the text? Was it typed-in, or pasted, or imported from another application? What operating system do you use? What font is being used? Can you attach the file? (or a part of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimejdh1 Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I am thinking I must have opened a PDF when I thought I was opening the .afpub file. Appreciate everyone's help. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you use Type-1-Fonts? Type 1 is no longer supported since some years. I don't know what happens if you use it anyway. Or did you change something with the installed fonts on your computer? I had big problems some years ago, because I installed too many fonts. Finally I had to reinstall Windows because of that. To prevent such problems I recommend a Font Manager like FontBase. minimejdh1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
