Can I request you to kindly update the following as well on the thread ? - The Word rendering is broken for "Siddhanta" font in addition to "Adishila Dev Guru". Word version 16.76.1, Mac Os Ventura 13.5.2 - I don't see this problem with Libre Office on MAC. Libre Office 7.6.1 - I also don't see this problem with Pages App (from Apple, Word equivalent). - This rendering is broken after a Word update recently and not on an Apple update. It appears to me that Word's renderer has broken this font, either by design or by a bug, since I don't see this issue on other similar products on the same Mac. Thanks Viswanath
