「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない／Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.
Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。
・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
・Beta版と製品版（2025、2024）で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ回避策として
・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートするなどの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか？と疑っています。
バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。
When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.
- This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
- Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.
Workarounds:
- Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.
- Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other…

Enter key does not commit a change in a panel / dialog / field
Transparency panel in Appearance window does not react on Enter in Illustrator 27.0
After the latest update, this bug is spotted. In Appearance window -> Opacity panel (either stroke or fill) -> enter desired opacity -> hit Enter/CR -> no reaction (expected: apply value and close the Opacity panel). The TAB button however still works (the value applies). Other panels work as they should and react Enter correctly.
OS: Mac OS 13.

When a crash happens, the Recent Files lists get reset to the state they had on launch
File > Open Recent Files list and a Recent files at home screen don’t get recorded somewhere safe as soon as a document gets opened.
So each time Illustrator crashes (and sadly it’s a ordinary way and the only reason for Illustrator to get relaunched), both lists get lost — Illustrator shows them in the state they had when the program was closed successfully.
Illustrator should update and store these lists as soon as they change and don’t loose them on crash.

Playing Save for Web operation from action produces different result than a direct operation
- Rename the .txt file to .aia
- Load this file as a set into Actions panel
- Open the .ai document (make sure that linked .tif file is loaded)
- Export the file using Save For Web command. Set size to 200% and save the result as 1.jpg
- Run the 'Test' action form the loaded set. Save the image as 2.jpg
Compare both files. 2.jpg is looking more red than 1.jpg
No profiles attached to JPGs.- Run the action again

Please fix export SVG, Adobe illustrator, AI ruins vector graphics
I used AI to create vector graphics for a game for around 3 months, until now, I moved to Affinity designer until AI fix their SVG export
In AI a problem was always present:
The SVG export.Adobe Illustrator ruins SVG graphic files:
- Gaps between shapes
- Gradient color unwanted alterations
- Layers might overlay incorrectly
- Wrong transparency percentage
(All the above only after exporting in SVG format)
(I only work using vector graphics, so the issues are all for vector graphics)
Please, fix vector graphic exporting in SVG format

Auto spell checker wants to capitalise new lines after forced line breaks
This is a bug report for the new auto spell checker feature in Illustrator 2020.
It does not understand that when you force a line break (using shift-return, not making a new paragraph with return), it’s not a new sentence.
So it wants to capitalise the first word on the new line.
This makes no sense and does not match the way it works in InDesign.
Thanks for fixing that!

Freeform Gradient points should also move on transforming Freeform Art
Today I ran into a problem with Adobe Illustrator artwork featuring some freeform gradient fills. I had a to create flipped, mirrored version of it for printing purposes (graphics would be applied sub-surface to a sign face). The problem is the freeform gradient fills wouldn't flip with the rest of the artwork. I attached a visual example of it. Using the "expand appearance" command allowed for the artwork to be flipped 180° correctly. It would be nice if I could avoid that kind of a fix.

Selection of all objects inside a group instead selects group
In previous versions of Illustrator if I was inside a group, and I selected all the objects, it would treat it like typical multi-selection. Now once I've selected all the objects, Illustrator behaves as though I have selected the group.
For example, I have 3 objects at 40% opacity. I group them, so now there's a group (with 100% opacity) containing 3 objects (at 40% opacity). When I enter the isolated group, and I select the first object, the transparency shows 40%. Nothing changes when I select the second object (still shows 40%). However, when I select the third object,…

missing fonts logged in error
When I open a document with missing fonts, the 'resolve missing fonts' screen keeps telling me I'm currently logged out of Creative Cloud, and to go to "help/log in". This despite the fact I'm logged in, and going to "help" shows my account name and logged in status..
20 votesHi,
Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you due to this issue and getting back to you this late.
We are unable to reproduce this issue in house.
Can you help the Illustrator team to isolate this issue further so that we can nail this down?
If yes, then please let me know the following:
1) Is this Issue still happening on your machine in the Latest version 23.0.3 ?
2) If yes , Kindly follow the steps mentioned on the Kb Article "https://helpx.adobe.com/in/fonts/kb/troubleshoot-font-activation.htmlIf they don’t solve the problem, collect the logs as per instruction in the troubleshooting page and email to fontsupport@adobe.com and support@typekit.com .

Expanding stroke on small objects seem to omit points in result
A very small ellipse, after its stroke is expanded, looses its lower inner point and the curviness changes visually. Please see the test file and the animation attached.

Direct Selection tool selects anchors below objects
Direct Selection tool wrongly selects points hidden underneath filled objects in front of them, when the cursor clicks into a highlighted point.
It seems that only Windows it behaves as expected when 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display is enabled. Macs still select stuff underneath.
Originally discussed here at forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/i-m-having-this-issue-with-every-file-now-in-illustrator-object-selecting/m-p/15254043
Take a look at the GIF attached for a quick demonstration.
Bundled together with this report, it renders selection in Ai pretty broken :(

Smooth Tool oversmooths
Manual use of the Smooth Tool over smooths no matter what I set the fidelity to.
This tool used to be so helpful in smoothing out rough areas or sharp corners but the new Illustrator 2025 (Desktop) PC version way over smooths.
This makes everything a blob instead of providing the polished finishing touch it used to give.
Now I have to manually remove unwanted points to achieve and retain desired shapes.19 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·

Keyword search in Illustrator panel is not giving results for all libraries
Working on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1
In Illustrator 28.4.1 (seen the bug in different Illustrator versions e.g., 27.9.2)Experienced behaviour:
When I search in ‘all libraries’ in Illustrator I don’t get results from all libraries (picture 1), instead (I believe) I’m getting the results from recently used libraries (those which are synchronised with my computer).So to be able to search all libraries I need to click one by one, load them and then I’m able to search. (picture 2)
Wanted behaviour:
Search in all libraries to get results from all libraries in the Illustrator window. (picture 3)19 votes -
Expanding an Inside / Outside stroke creates barely open paths
- Create a rectangle
- Apply a thick stroke to it and change its alignment to Inside or Outside
- Expand Appearance for the shape
- Deselect the shape
- Grab Direct selection and carefully move the corner points at the top right, for both paths
It turns out Illustrator doesn’t keep these tidy! One is cut open, another has a doubled point! It leads to a problems later, when we try, e.g. to make corners rounded, or apply effects.
A current workaround is to apply Add (as Pathfinder operation or an effect) to the stroke, separately form the fill... and it’s taxing for memory,…
