  2. AI打開缺字體文件卡死界面問題,只能任務管理器強制關閉。

    有bug的AI版本,ai2022 ai2023都有问题。ai2021没这个问题。
    问题描述:
    1. 缺字体的pdf文件,只要右键打开方式用ai2022 2023打开,进到界面弹出缺字体提示,大概率整个AI卡死。
    2. 先打开ai2022 2023界面,缺字体的pdf文件选择右键打开方式选择ai2022 2023,弹出缺字体提示,超高概率整个AI卡死。

  4. Point type alignment trouble

    I have an issue with Adobe illustrator, and the online help service didn’t help me at all

    Here’s the deal:

    When I type in English left to right, I can align the text to the horizontal center of the artboard.

    BUT when I write in Hebrew (or Arabic), right to left, using a point type, the text will not align.

    If I convert to area type, or if I change orientation of the txt to left to right, the text will align fine.

    So the issue happens only when writing in Hebrew or Arabic, In right to left orientation, and…

  5. SVG import: font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

    font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

    Use the following steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. download attached AIbugreport.txt file
    2. replace .txt with.svg (unable to load an SVG file)
    3. import the file to Adobe Illustrator
    4. open this file in Google Chrome (or any other browser) to visually see the difference

    Actuall result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: Styles are not applied to these words.

    Expected result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic

  6. preferences > Type "Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing" Not working

    Version 27.0 64bit

    This setting : preferences > Type "Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing" has no effect.

    Illustrator is automatically numbering and bulleting, even when the setting is on or off.

  7. fonts not displaying online

    The specified typefaces rarely display online when sharing for review. They are being replaced by something else. This makes sharing a file online for review a waste of time. Even if I use an activated Adobe font, this font will unlikely be displayed in the browser. Even using a web friendly font doesn't help

  8. paragraph copy converts to individual letters, or small small groups of letters

    I have noticed this issue with some increasing frequency: where paragraphs of copy suddenly appear as individual letters or small groupings. These letters all appear on their own layer. I am unable to grab all the text, or modify an entire word. Thankfully, I save rounds of files, or work by copy and pasting , so I'm generally able to grab copy from an older version, but this is maddening to say the least. I work as a packaging designer and it's crucial that copy remain editable. I have attached an image of the copy selected and highlighted little pink…

  9. 26.5 Can not change text box's language in the Character Panel

    When I highlight text or select a textbox I can not change the language in the dropdown menu located in the character panel. When I am editing, all my textboxes and either English: USA or Ukrainian and I can not change them. My default is English: USA but for some reason half of my text is labeled Ukrainian and the Auto Spellchecker is saying every English word is misspelled.

  10. Localization bug with variable font panel

    As shown, this is a variable font with 3 axes, the second axis is named "Italic", but it is incorrectly displayed as a localized text. I'm sure there is no localized name for this axis in the font file.

    The font file can be downloaded from here: https://symphosizer.wearecollins.com/fonts/ABCSymphonyDisplayVariable.ttf

  12. Auto Spell Check marks capitalization mistakes when type is set to ALL CAPS.

    With auto spell check enabled, capitalization is still marked if the type is set to "ALL CAPS" in the the character panel's options. when using all caps, the capitalization of the underlying text should not matter, only what is displayed which is all-caps.

  13. Font compatibility issues between different iOS and Illustrator versions

    My one system is on Mojave (10.14.6) running 25.4.8 illustrator. The other system is on Monterey (12.3.1) running 26.5 illustrator. And I have downloaded and installed Petrona font from Google fonts on both the systems.

    Now when I try to open the file (that was created on Mojave) on Monterey I'm prompted for missing fonts! This compatibility issue is making it very difficult for me to work across my devices.

  15. Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text

    Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.

    Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

  16. Spellcheck underlines things that are OK

    The dictionary Illustrator uses is quite poor it seems, especially for non-English languages.

    But what’s more important, Ai always wants me to make each first word capitalized in a line after a soft-break. Hey, do you know soft break is not a paragraph return, right? It means just a new line, not the end of a sentence.

    Just stop. It makes the Spellcheck completely useless.

  17. Bulleted text became outlined without performing "Create Outlines" action

    I found my text with added new bullet function became outlined text and cannot be edited anymore through type after closing and reopening the AI file.

    I have to retype the text, thus I am guessing that the bullet function may have triggered this because the rest of my text without bullet in that same file is still editable. Please help rectify. Attached two images of the outcome.

  19. Divis/Minus-Zeichen und Leerzeichen am Zeilenanfang ergibt falschen Wortabstand

    macOS Monterey 12.5.1 / Adobe Illustrator v26.5

    Beginnt eine Textzeile mit einem Divis/Minus/Bindestrich und einem folgenden Leerzeichen/Wortabstand, so beträgt der Abstand zum nächsten darauf folgenden Zeichen nicht wie üblich ein Viertelgeviert, sondern ein Geviert. Die darauf folgenden Wortabstände in der gleichen Textzeile verhalten sich normal. Beginnt man jedoch mit der Eingabe-/Return-Taste eine neue Zeile, so erscheint automatisch auch an diesem Zeilenanfang ein Divis mit anschließendem Geviert-Wortabstand. Dieses „Geister-Divis“ lässt sich nicht separat anwählen.
