I disagree. "Using 'Palatino Linotype' font causes wrong caret movement" was a
very restrictive description of the problem, but the comments show it was much
more complex:

Darn, it looks like even for non-CTL text the OpenType features of the font is
triggered since SP2. With automatic ligatures the mnCharCount==mnGlyphCount
assumption in SimpleWinLayout is no longer true...


1. The problem was not only with Palatino Linotype but with *thousands* of
OpenType fonts having a (liga) feature for Latin script (I have written a fairly
complete list of these fonts here: <http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/linard.html>)

2. The problem is triggered by a new version of Uniscribe (usp10.dll), which
brings support of the (liga) feature for Latin script, i.e. the versions
included in:
- Windows XP SP2
- Windows 2003 SP1
- Windows Longhorn

Automatic Ligatures on some systems cause *metrics problems*


The issue 27336 will more appropriately be named "Metrics problems with OpenType
fonts on recent Windows versions".

And the metrics problems are solved for OpenType fonts with TrueType outlines
only on screen, not in print. For OpenType fonts with CFF (PostScript) outlines,
it works neither on screen nor in print. Look at the message from hdu, November

HDU->SBA: please verify in CWS usp4all
- also check with other fonts with similar problems to Palatino (like Brioso*,


Adobe Brioso Pro is an OpenType CFF font, did you make the test?

If you don't have Brioso anymore, install Adobe Reader 7, take the OpenType
fonts (*.otf) in C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Resource\Font\ and copy them
in C:\Windows\Fonts. You can then test Adobe Minion Pro and Adobe Myriad Pro,
and see that the problem is still here.
