  1. Text pasted from Photoshop resizes by interesting ratio

    When live text copied from Photoshop is pasted into Illustrator (or the other way 'round), it resizes.
    The amount of change is predictable (and infuriating):
    the PSD's resolution divided by 72 (when pasting into Illustrator) or
    72 divided by the PSD's resolution (when pasting into Photoshop)

    Process:
    Highlight text in Photoshop with the Type tool (example: resolution is 300ppi)
    Copy it
    Paste into an Illustrator document (neither raster effects resolution nor type unit of measurement matter)

    Result: text is very different (300/72 times larger for text from a 300ppi Photoshop doc)
    Type copied in AI then pasted into a 300ppi…

  2. Bug on the All Caps (case) open type feature

    If the typeface uses GPOS in the "case" feature to relocate a glyph, Illustrator seems to ignore it. It is working well no InDesign and and Photoshop.
    So the "case" feature is broken for glyphs that reposition with GPOS.

    I am a typeface designer and developer, but I found the same complaint from another person: https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/contextual-gpos-adjustments-for-brackets-symbols-question/17569/3

  5. Random movement in text layers

    After saving and exiting Illustrator (26.0.1) on Mac OS Monterey (happened on Big Sur as well) when I open the file later the text layer have moved randomly. While not a repeatable bug, it does happen more than 50% of the time.

  6. Text disappearing when outlined

    When outlining text in Illustrator, some of the text is disappearing, as though under a clipping mask, The text outlines are present but the text is not visible.
    Turning the fill to overprint stops this happening, but I can't overprint white text....

    I have tried on a brand new file, so there are no formatting issues. The typeface is irrelevant it happens on all types .otf or .ttf...

  8. Rotation of a text while Snap to Grid is on

    You can't rotate a text with the Rotate tool when Snap to grid is on.

    Please watch the GIF attached.

    Then try to replicate.

    Open the attached document.
    Enable Snap to Grid.
    Select text.
    Grab Rotate tool.
    Hold Shift (or even do not).
    Try to rotate the text.
    Failure?
    If yes, move it a bit to the side (with snapping still on) and try again.
    Experiment a bit with different positions.

  9. Type jumbles up in text box. Maybe because I installed Hebrew/Arabic capability?

    When I create a type box and either type in it or copy-paste from a text editor (BB Edit, which provides really clean type), the type jumbles up together without word breaks. Sometimes it ends up overwriting type that's already there and sometimes the type ends up occupying a single line, even though it may be many lines of type.

    I've had a number of type problems of various sorts since installing Hebrew/Arabic type capability several months ago.

  10. Small caps do not work for Libertinus font (open type font)

    The small caps feature does not work for the Libertinus Serif font (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus) in Illustrator. Only some of the letters get capitalized. It does, however, work with Libertinus Serif Display. (different variant of the same font family) This issue (from the font development page) contains more information: https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/issues/482
    Other programs like LibreOffice don't have this issue and render the small caps correctly, so it may be that there is an issue in Illustrator.

    To reproduce: just download and install the Libertinus font, create a new document, add some text, apply the Libertinus Serif font and activate small caps…

  12. Optical kerning changes when opening AI file in Illustrator 2021

    Opened an AI file created April 2021 (using Optical kerning) to make changes. Kerning looks ok when I first open the file, but when I click on the text, the kerning changes significantly.
    The font used is Georgia. Mac OS 10.15.7. Illustrator 2021 25.3.1. I had to open the file in Illustrator 2020 and copy the kerning values between the letters. I then opened the file in Illustrator 2021, changed from Optical to Metric and entered the kerning values from the Illustrator 2020 file.

  14. Eyedropper applies colour to whole text in Text Area

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    When I try to apply a text style to my selection using the eyedropper, it applies the colour to the whole text area (not just the selected text).

    In the vid: all the text becomes blue.

  15. alt+gr typing pass through

    So, after spending an hour googling through different people having language / character issues with alt+gr on windows in Illustrator, I think I have identified what is happening (see screenshot)

    Win10 can do mixed display language / keyboard layout combinations that most Adobe products will handle just fine, but Illustrator seems to set keyboard language based on general language set, not on keyboard language set.

    So, if I type my normal alt gr+q for @ symbol or alt gr+e for € symbol on a german layout while using english language with german keyboard, it does not pass through as altgr+e…

  16. All caps switching off

    Type with all caps is changing back to whatever case it was typed in. In other words the all caps attribute is switching off. I'm pretty sure this is not operator error.

  18. Diacritical characters are displayed incompletely

    I create fonts and need diacritical marks above or below letters for European fonts. When I copy the following text
    ́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ · ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^
    from TextEdit (Mac) into Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1 (Mac), many of the characters disappear.
    The problem does not occur in Affinity Designer. So please repair this bug, thanks.

  20. Cambio de color en fuentes de color.

    Diseñe una tipografía de color con Fontself con una paleta especifica y al instalarla en Illustrator no respeta los colores establecidos, solo cuando se agranda o se achica la caja de texto se pueden ver los colores reales, pero al soltar la caja como que los desatura y quedan así. Adjunto un video para que se entienda mejor. ¿Hay algún tipo de solución? Desde ya muchas gracias!
