So, I just posted that I thought that fixed it. And it does. A little. It fixes D6s. It doesn't seem to fix D10s or 8s. Or 4s.

It looks it applies Kerning to font size X and above, minimum is size 8. For the record, I tried increasing the size and it didn't affect the success/failure. Sorry.

(This explains why I thought I had tried it before without success, but I just didn't try all the permutations. In good news, testing has confirmed that you can apply font settings retroactively on the codes which wasn't explicit in the guidance.)

Each set of combination codes only works up to the maximum number of sides on that die (except d6), so 6_ON_D4 (like in your screenshot) will display side-by-side instead of overlapping like 1 to 4_ON_D4. However, as long as the numbers are within what you could roll on each die, the kerning should work.

which version of Dicier are you using (the version number specifically)?
do the ANY_ON_ wildcard combinations work?
do the 0_ON_ combinations work?
which version of Word are you using, on which operating system?
do you have any other software you could test the codes in? If not, LibreOffice is free and reliable and works more-or-less how Word does, so it could provide a good comparison if there's some quirk in Word preventing certain combinations from working (I no longer have Word, so it's tricky to troubleshoot Dicier in Word myself). You'd also have to install the "otf-LibreOffice" fonts, at least temporarily.

0. I chose a bad example for the screenshot but I tried most dice and different numbers.

1: v5_1_3

2. I thought they had, but it seems not. Just D6 as the numbers.

3. Just D6 as before.

4. Word 2019, Win10, all updated.

5. Not at present, and TBH I think I'm going to consider this a sad write-off for now. I have spent quite a lot of spoons so far, which I don't regret, but I have limits. Hopefully having the conversation here will help others later.
