    Problem with ITC Franklin Gothic Std display in CS3

    Tom Usrey Community Member

      Perhaps someone here can verify (or not) a problem we're seeing with an Adobe font. The font is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book. This is from the Adobe Font Folio 9, so the version number is 1.047;PS 001.003;Core 1.0.38;makeotf.lib1.6.5960

       

      In InDesign and Illustrator CS3, when we type a Registered Sign followed by a Right Double Quotation Mark, the spacing between the two is several times wider than between the Left Double Quotation Mark followed by a Registered Sign. (Photoshop CS3 doesn't show this problem, but it has a different type engine than the others.)

       

      The two characters are:

       

      Name: REGISTERED SIGN

      GID: 161

      Unicode: 00AE

       

      Name: RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

      GID: 117

      Unicode: 201D

       

      We're also seeing the same odd spacing in the Demi weight of the typeface.
