Hi all,
This one’s a bit of a shot in the dark, but I hope someone here has experience working with InDesign files that have a destination of being loaded to PageFlex. For those not familiar with it [I am only recently familiar], as I understand it, PageFlex allows printing companies to create templates in InDesign that are then made available in an online ordering system to clients, so they upload photos and type in text, which are all automatically placed and formatted for print fulfillment. It’s a pretty convenient setup when you want to give print ordering autonomy to people who are not design- or software-savvy (such as real estate agents ordering brochures and mailers, as is the case here).
The issue I’m having is with forcing proportional lining on numerals used in the text fields. In InDesign, I have the text set up to do this correctly, but apparently there is not such an option when the template design is translated to PageFlex. So I guess my question is, is there any way to force proportional lining of an OpenType font, independent of the software? It seems like InDesign, when numbers are entered while the caps lock key is on, automatically default to lining instead of oldstyle. Trying this does not seem to make a difference when producing a proof through the online system, and I wasn’t sure if there was a way to completely remove the oldstyle information from the font file or otherwise force the use of lining instead of oldstyle?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
