Hi everyone
In InDesign, in a text frame, I put this text set in Arial Unicode MS:
中文
English
मराठी
Then, I set the same text in Times New Roman Regular:
The first and the third words (中文 and मराठी) are not visible (they are pink-highlighted) because Times New Roman Regular doesn’t cover Chinese and Devanagari.
Those missing glyphs are reported in the Preflight panel (7 errors found according to my personal profile «Missing glyphs»).
When I apply the «Small Caps» feature to my text those 7 errors disappear.
According to InDesign there are no missing glyphs in my document:
Do you think it is a bug?
Do you think it can be solved?

Hi,
Somehow I am not able to see this issue with InDesign CC 2017.1 on my Windows 10 machine.
Can you again create a new Preflight profile by overriding the default one in a separate document?

Hi Aman,
I can recreate this bug.
German Mac OSX 10.10.5
German InDesign CC 2017.1 v 12.1.0.56
See yourself:
[1] No Small Caps applied:
4 errors for missing glyphs detected.
[2] Small Caps applied to text of one story:
2 errors for missing glyphs detected.
[3] Small Caps applied to text of all stories with missing glyphs:
No missing glyphs detected.
FWIW: The default basic preflight profile cannot detect missing glyphs at all.

Uwe

Hi Uwe,
With the fonts and the glyphs that you have shown, I am able to reproduce this issue as well.
But try the following...
Am sure I am missing a major point here.
Let me know your observations.

Hi Aman
It seems that the bug depends on the font used.
In these 3 examples I used 3 fonts (they all are OpenType) and I applied the «Small Caps» feature.
Palatino LT Std Roman (the missing glyphs are detected):
Minion Pro Regular (the missing glyphs are detected):
Myriad Pro Regular (the missing glyphs are NOT detected):

Hi Georgio,
report the bug here:
Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I can see this bug already with InDesign CS6 v 8.1.0.
Guess it's also with CS5 and CS5.5…
( but did not test )
