Reply To: Shortcut for italic

This kind of mapping has been a problem in complex font families for many years. It’s similar to the problem that some people have with fonts that don’t have a font labeled “Italic” but instead “Oblique” and the shortcut doesn’t work. It has to do with InDesign getting confused about what maps to what.

I believe in the old PostScript fonts, this was a particular problem because it had to be mapped properly in the font, and sometimes those mappings got confused. I remember about 20 years ago there was some tool called Font Family Harmonizer or something like that, which would let you reset what shortcut would map to what.
