  1. New text set to wrong language

    Everytime I create a new text using the text tool, the language for the text is set to "English: EUA", but both my Illustrator settings and my document settings are set to "Portuguese: Brazil".

    I don't believe that there is a THIRD place where I need to configure this, so I imagine that it's a bug. Also, my Illustrator it's updated, but I've been experiencing this for a while.

  2. 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…

  4. 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. テキスト操作時のIビームの点滅が早すぎる

    Illustrator 26.0 (Intel/Ja_JP)
    macOS10.15.7

    テキスト入力時のIビームのフリッカが強すぎる。Tツールにてマウスカーソルを移動し挿入点を変更した際に特に早くなります。現象の動画を添付します。
    入力時はカーソル付近を注視するため図形明滅刺激の影響による健康被害の発生につながる可能性もあります。ver.25の仕様に戻していただきたいと思います。
    また、M1でも同様の挙動との報告を受けております。

  10. 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.

  11. Fonts Syncing

    I just upgraded my computer to the Macbook Pro 2021 M1. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe and noticed none of my fonts will sync. I've tried posted troubleshooting methods and none have worked (closing and restarting apps, reinstalled apps, multiple computer resets, unsyncing and resyncing manually, etc). Any time I open an Illustrator project with previously used fonts that aren't native to the app, it prompts me to sync but the load wheel just keeps spinning and will never finish.

    I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

    I am closing the ticket due to lack of response.
    Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Please give a reference to this post so that we can identify you.
    Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

  15. 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.

  16. 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...

  17. Area Type text stretching when transformed with another shape

    When I transform an Area Type text box using the handles, it resizes the Area and the type fits according to paragraph settings - which is what I want from Area Type - (first part of video).

    But if I transform at the same time as another shape, selecting both at the same time - the type resizes like point type, stretching and scaling with the box, which is not how area type should behave - (second part of video).

    So I can't transform an Area Type text box at the same time, for instance, as a holding shape that…

  18. 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…

  19. Type on Path Broken - Can't Resize

    Not sure if this has been reported yet or not. When I use the type on path tool and try to resize it the type's center point is moved and/or the kerning is thrown way off. See the video for an example of what's happening.

    The only way I can get around this is making a copy of the object so I can save an editable version, then outline the text on the other version so I can resize. This is a MASSIVE pain.

  20. Corrupt rendering of font Aktiv Grotesk Condensed Light

    Our font Aktiv Grotesk Condensed Light has weird rendering artifacts in the glyphs "C", "b" and "p", but only on macOS 11.5.1 and Illustrator 25.4.1 (InDesign on the same platform is fine; on Windows, both are fine). See screenshot. Can't attach the font here so I'm sending it to Josh Hadley at Adobe.
