Dzongkha font in Indesign! How to make Dzongkha and Tibetan fonts work in Indesign CC?

Normally Unicode compatible Dzongkha and Tibetan fonts do not work in the Indesign. It distorts the complex text script as shown in the image below.


However, Dzongkha Development Commission (DDC) of Bhutan has come-up with two new fonts to overcome the limitation. The fontas are DDC Uchen font and the Jomolhari ID font which are free ans open source.

To make the Dzongkha and Tibetan fonts compatible in Indesign CC, we have to enable the World-Ready Composer in Indesign.

To do that we can either define a new paragraphs style or edit existing paragraph style.
Then go to the paragraphs Style Options -->Justification and set Composer to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer"


The World-Ready composer supports all Unicode Compatible Dzongkha fonts.
