Pill Gothic OTF Small Caps won't work in InDesign CS3

yader

Hi there,

I’ve used Pill Gothic OTF for a customer last year (who has bought the font from Veer) with InDesign CS2 and had no problems with Small Caps. Now making a new project for this particular customer, the Opentype Small Caps function in InDesign CS3 won’t work. InDesign doesn’t react in any way. What’s really strange is that the document from last year opens correctly with OTF Small Caps. Does anyone know of a bug in InDesign CS3 within Small Caps? Thanks in advance.

Do the small caps work OK in TextEdit?

thanks for the tip, nothing wrong with the font, InDesign is the culprit.


strange…

I saw this happen to an old version of Minion Pro. When I changed the language to anything else than English, small caps and a few other niceties failed.
It took me several years to find out. I discovered that in that version of Minion, there were definitions for a lot of OpenType options as well as sub-definitions for a few languages. The creator forgot to include all OpenType features for all languages ...

You can try if setting the language to “[None]” in ID solves it. If
