What you need to activate is the universal composer. You better put the Word doc (using the file-> Place), but this probably isn't the issue here.
Is there a way to transfer Sinhalese and Tamil Microsoft Word text in InDesign and for the characters to stay as they are in Word? My absolute last resort would be to do this for each section of the screen, but it will be extremely laborious.
Iskoola pota sinhala font for windows 10 pdf#
I made a PDF from Word and then placed in ID but I am working on a very public screen with hundreds of words in three languages (Sinhala, Tamil and English) which vary in sizes, so I need to be able to adjust the size, etc.I also have Unicode installed in my computer and have installed the appropriate fonts.
I also made sure that I had selected the appropriate fonts described above in ID. I tried to cut and paste into Notepad and then insert it into the ID, but the same thing happens.When I do a direct cut and paste, the characters for both languages are distorted with some characters jumping in front of the other (see image below). I need to transfer this text in Adobe InDesign. In the Microsoft Word document, they appear correctly. I have a text sent to me to Sri Lanka in Microsoft word - Tamil (Arial Unicode MS) and the Sinhalese (Iskoola Pota). Problem with Sinhalese and Tamil text in InDesign
