    Hello

    I have Adobe Indesign CS6. I have just used the glyph panel to type:

    resume

    with the uptick above the 'e' .

    Like this:

    resumé

    I am using minion pro regular.

    But then for some reason the rest of the paragraph changes from from then on into some blocked semi-capitalised form of minion pro like this:

    uuuuuuuuuUUUuuu

    How do I change back to the regular minion pro that was using?

    Note that one weird aspect is that when I cut and paste my examples from indesign into here, I get the same font! But what I cut and pasted from is NOT the same. Weird. Suggests a bug in Indesign to me.

    Interestingly, if I change back to resume without using a glyph then the follwing text is normal.

    That is mucho strange. Are you on a Mac? If so, instead of using the glyphs panel, can you type option-e followed by e? That should type é.

    I am using Windows 7.

    It's not the first run on problem that I have found. There is a similar problem with superscripts and subscripts that I am going to make a differerent thread for.

    I call these “run on” issues; doing something that should only effect one letter seems to change all type that I type after that. That change is not desired and occurs without me changing anything else.

    I don't remember how to type that character in Windows, but google might know.

    But now I see what you're saying: You're inserting the character and then typing more characters after it. My guess is that when you insert the character, it's actually changing the font to something else! The glyphs panel can change the font (see the font name and style in the lower-left corner of the panel). Same thing with superscript/subscript. Perhaps the “special” character you're getting is actually changing the font or style, which messes up the other characters. Instead, try typing “resume.” (with some text after it) and then go back and select the e and replace just it.

    David, that fixes the problem! I have done what you suggest of typing letters afterwards and coming back and replacing the letter with the glyph letter. I have no problems from then on; normal minion pro occurs as desired.

    I find it a bit counter-intuitive that I have to “come back” to do this. But I can do it this way.

    It would be good if Adobe allowed the more natural process of putting in the glyph at the time.

    Thanks for the help.

    Why not using the keyboard for typing these letters? é;è, …

    You could use the combination of “AltGr”+” ' ” (on an azerty keyb it's next to the letter” m”).

    For é it bcomes “AltGr”+” ' ” and then the letter e giving é. With shift it becomes É.
