Soft styles, like italics, may be ignored, regardless of your Create InDesign document/book 🠒 Advanced 🠒 Soft Styles settings. Consequently, your output may be missing important soft styles. | To ensure you aren't missing italics or other soft styles in your output, we recommend Typefi Desktop users update to Typefi Designer 8.10 and Typefi Workgroup users update to Typefi Designer Server 8.10. For more information, please visit Typefi Designer 8.10 release notes. |
