| Adobe InDesign 2023 (v18.0 or later), when used as a composition engine for Typefi Desktop, may experience a rare crash when closing documents at the end of a job. | As of 22 Mar 2023, we do not recommend using InDesign 2023 with Typefi Desktop. Instead, we recommend using InDesign 2022 (v17) or InDesign 2021 (v16.3 or later) until Adobe resolves this issue. We've filed a bug report with Adobe and will update the workaround when they respond. |
| 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. |
| Typefi AutoFit relationships disappear after running a job using InDesign 16.2. | Group the AutoFit parent-child elements or upgrade to InDesign 16.3 or later. If you upgrade to InDesign 16.3, make sure you also upgrade to Typefi Designer 8.7.2 or later. |
| Bold and italics are not applied to the Adobe Arabic font. | Install the Adobe Arabic font on your computer: Windows: Follow the instructions in How to install or remove a font in Windows. macOS: Follow the instructions in How to install and remove fonts on your Macc. For general information about which fonts are supported by Typefi, see Fonts and Typefi. |
| If Create InDesign document uses InDesign Server 2020 or 2021, you cannot publish a document with a video Element. If you try to publish a document with a video Element, you get this error message: Error: Request failed because the underlying functionality is no longer available in the current version of the application . This error occurs because Adobe now blocks Flash content from running . | There is no workaround at this time. |
| macOS will not install Typefi Designer because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. | Upgrade to Typefi Designer 8.7.2 or later. Alternatively, follow the troubleshooting steps in this article . |
| Saving a Typefi-ready template (.indd) as IDML does not retain the Section and Element Fields used in the Section or Element. | Manually add the Fields back to their corresponding Section or Element. (Open the Typefi Section or Element Options panel, click the Fields tab and select the Fields.) We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide an update in an upcoming release. |
| Typefi AutoFit relationships disappear after running a job using InDesign 16.2. | Group the AutoFit parent-child elements or upgrade to InDesign 16.3 or later. If you upgrade to InDesign 16.3, make sure you also upgrade to Typefi Designer 8.7.2 or later. |
| You are unable to open InDesign 2021. Instead, you see a Startup Alert. | Typefi Designer 8.7.2 is only compatible with InDesign 2021 16.3 or later. To use Typefi Designer 8.7.2 with InDesign 2021, upgrade to InDesign 16.3 or later. If you use InDesign 2021 16.0–16.2, downgrade to Typefi Designer 8.7.1. |
