Hi!

I'm having a problem with the font Lauren C. Brown (http://www.dafont.com/lauren-c-brown.font)

Firstly, I'm running Windows 7, and using Adobe CS5 and Office 2010.

Basically, single and double inverted commas (only these as far as I can see) are being displayed as blank spaces, whereas all the other characters are showing up normally. I've tested this in various Adobe CS programs and Office programs and the issue persists across them all.

I can see from Character Map that the inverted comma characters definitely exist. And if I select a bunch of characters alongside those and copy them out, then paste into one of the above applications, everything apart from them show up.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be happening and how I might fix it?

Thanks!

You're talking about the double quotes, right? No, they are not in this font. You can't contact the author via Dafont to tell her about this issue, so you'll have to end up using another font for these characters, I'm afraid.

Hi,

It's actually both the single and double quote marks. It seems from the Character Map that it does have them (2nd and 7th characters here: http://i.imgur.com/IWTd8YS.jpg). And in Word, the first time I typed them, they appeared for a split second then vanished.

Any idea? :(

The characters shown in your image are the apostrophe and the quotation mark, try writing ' and " instead of ‘ ’ “ ”.

Oooh okay. So it looks like I can copy that out from your text and into Word and it appears correctly. But when I try copying it into text in InDesign it still doesn't show up. Do you know if there would be some kind of setting there I'd need to tweak?

Well, if they show up in Word, they should also show up in InDesign, but I'm not an InDesign expert. After googling your problem, I found this thread.

Thanks for your time. I found the solution!

Awesome! And, you're welcome

My post #6 shows the different locations in a font file for single and double quotations, left and right.

The single and double quotes from the Lauren C. Brown font probably appear when typed in Notepad, but not in other apps, because the font author didn't add glyphs in the other positions.
