I have many fonts that include alternate characters that I substitute using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBVsufJjons
I never had any trouble in X7. Since upgrading to X8 many of my fonts will not allow access to the alternates anymore and remain visually cut-off unless I convert them to curves. Of course after this conversion, alternates are no longer available because the shapes are no longer text.
Example:

If Adobe can do it and we can't there has to be a reason. I would assume that reason is one of compliance.
MikeWe said:Typical Windows applications cannot do what Adobe has done--Adobe bypasses the OS font system and reads the fonts directly. So without doing the same, all the benefits that Adobe has with their font technology cannot happen.
I have multiple architect client having issues with fonts in their Adobe products, not sure what the issues are and I really don't have time to care. Some fonts work some don't so what is the price and really are there benefits?
So what is correct?
Is this MS saying do it this way or else?
Is this Microsofts way of weeding out bad font code for future enhancements?
