Converting variable fonts and color fonts when saving
Periodic saving is a natural part of design work. Now when I periodically save I get to watch the 'wait bar' slowly slide by while it converts variable fonts and color fonts to objects. I DON'T even have any of those on my computer.
- Illustrator 22.0.1
- See above
- Shouldn't have to wait to convert something that doesn't need converting.
- See above.
- I don't have a file to upload. It happens on all files.

I am beyond infuriated by this. I first tried to research this problem months ago and now i just live with it. How is it possible there is not a fix for this? I am not using variable fonts in this file. In fact, I NEVER use them because if it triggers this its not even remotely worth it.

I think this is a part of some OCR recognition in an image when is placed in Illustrator, attached the window with the msg

I also have this problem. I do often use variable fonts (activated through Adobe Fonts) but this happens whether I've used those fonts or not.
Using Illustrator version 27.0 on a Mac running 12.6

Same issue with the latest version of AI. Almost every time. No fonts used either. Simple files taking so long to save.

Since updating to Illustrator 26.5 some of my files can't be saved at all because Illustrator stalls during this progress. They need to be saved in PDF. None of my files has variable fonts or colored.
I'n using Mac.

This is a very annoying issue. Most of my files I don't have ANY text/fonts within them, and I still get the message. Please Adobe, fix this issue.

Yes, this happens when I create complex blends. Saving takes too much time. Saving on Creative Cloud helps, but I'd like to save on my desktop.

I just started getting this on 26.4.1.
Blowing a half an hour digging on this traced it to something completely not involving any text at all. It is reliably showing up when I place a path drawn with a certain pattern brush into a *distortion mesh* and distort it. If I use a different pattern brush it doesn't appear. Very strange.
No replication file to offer, unfortunately - I can't get the path displaying this weird behavior isolated into a single file, and now it's stopped happening.
Man this is gonna be a **** of a bug to track down.
