Reply To: Text indent issue

The spaces that you see between the left edge of the text frame and the first characters of the two paragraph (the B and the F) are the left sidebearings of the characters: that space is part of the character the way it’s defined in the font. Therefore you can’t use left indent or whatever. The only way to get align the visible part of the letters at the frame’s edge is to insert an innocent and invisible character such as a discretionary hyphen before the first letter and apply kerning between the two. You can automate that, see
