trialanderror Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 In the latest beta (1.7.0.139) in some fonts like P22 Underground Pro there appears a ridiculously wide gap after umlauts (ä, ö, ü) with “Small Caps” or “All Small Caps”. (see screenshot) Line 4 appears normal, but the “Special Characters” are off, too. This was not the case until at least two betas ago (I skipped the one before this), and other fonts appear normal, as far as I have tried. And right-aligned looks even worse, although it hasn’t been flush in any beta yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi trialanderror If it is just this specific font would you be able to provide it at all?

trialanderror Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi, I’ve uploaded the culprit (please delete after inspection). On further investigation, it seems like it occurs not only in connection with “Small Caps” or “All Small Caps”, but in addition with an OpenType stylistic set, particularly SS06 (in this font responsible for turning square dots into round ones). Setting stylistic sets to default “solves” the issue, but at the expense of reducing typographic options. I have found other fonts that also behave unexpectedly with stylistic sets selected, the macOS system font Iowan Old Style e. g. has the gap after each letter S (see new screenshots with and without stylistic set selected). The horrible alignment on right-aligned text persists independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzo Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The same problem with the right alignement exists with Calibri, a standard font, while using small caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I think this will be fixed in the next beta. Kenzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialanderror Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 As of 1.7.0.145, the kerning seems to be back to normal (at least with the fonts and OpenType options I’m using in this test project). The right alignment, however, still goes haywire as soon as small caps are turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
