Thai character's tone symbol is shifting on specific characters
Jul 06, 2021
We have proposed some font style to our client and we come to an agreement to use 2 ~ 3 Thai fonts from Google. But then we realize one of the font will run into a problem that specific characters' tone symbol will slightly shift to the left.

I am attaching the sample Storyline file here. You can see that I grab screenshot while the text layer was still in the slide-editing mode, and it looks fine. But in preview mode (as well as in browser's mode), the tone symbol is shifted.
Please also try installing below two fonts for this testing.

- https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sarabun?subset=thai
Triong will have such issue, but same strings / characters with the same font in other authoring tool work fine. I think this worth to look into the possible root cause.
