InDesign CS6 glyph problem

[michaelah61684383]

Hello everyone.

I am designing an online newsletter right now and somehow InDesign weirldy connects the letters "s" and "t"

together, but only in the font Arial Regular.. Kind of hard to explain but does anyone know how I stop doing this?

It seems to be a glyph but I have no idea how to remove it ...

Thanks in advance

PS: I have a Windows PC, no MAC

Regards

Hi

These are ligatures.

see Format characters in InDesign

Thank you!!

That's a ligature.

Try selecting the text and going to the Open Type menu in the Character formatting and turning off Discretionary Ligatures.

But I am stunned that you're seeing this because Ariel Regular isn't supposed to have discretionary ligatures. Do you know where you got that font?

Thanks, I was able to turn them off. Phew, good question, my colleague is really trained in InDesign

- more than I am- so I don't really know where she got it..

Yes, it does.

I cannot remember how far back, but the Windows version (at least) does.
