OS: Win7 x64

software: Adobe InDesign CC 2015

I modified one installed font slightly such that one character only changed. Then I uninstalled the original font, installed the modified version, cleared Windows font cache, removed every single Adobe*.lst file (which supposedly clears Adobe font cache), and then rebooted. The new font works correctly in all other Windows apps, but InDesign "remembers" the old version of this font... and only sometimes at that. If I look at a long section of text, the changed character appears both the "old" way and the "new" way at random throughout the same section. This happens in all Adobe apps.

I have found dozens of articles referencing the Adobe*.lst files as controlling the cache, but this is simply not working for me. Is there another cache somewhere that I am unaware of?

There are probably either alternate glyphs for the character or ligatures that include that character in the font.

You can check if this is the case in InDesign by opening the Glyphs panel (Window → Type & Tables → Glyphs) and searching for any other glyphs that include that character. You can open the font in any font manager or editor and check the glyphs too.
