Text size is not the same size as I set it
How do I get illustrator cc 18 which I pay per month for, to apply text size the same size on the monitor as I pick in the layout?? If I put in for instance .50 size text it will be approx. .375 on the monitor or my layout. This is aggravating. It is something I am doing wrong or HOW DO I CORRECT THIS SO IT WILL BE THE SAME SIZE AS I CHOOSE. THANKS Jerry L. Evans Kokomo, Indiana. I had illustrator 6 on disk I purchased and had no problems like this.

Missing Font On Documents That Were Just Open
I have been having issues with fonts dropping out of coworkers documents since I updated to CC2018 but this is the first time I have reopened one of my own files and had font claim to be missing that I was just using.
I had assumed previously that my coworkers had just had a different named version of the fonts but today I saved and closed one of my own files to restart my pc because AI was running slowly (separate issue, i know) but when i reopened my file 10 minutes later I have 6 fonts missing.

Problem selecting Text Area background with direct selection
Illustrator CC 2018
Windows 10When I want to select the background of a Text Area with the direct selection tool (white arrow), I can only do so by clicking on the edge or half a pixel inside it, or it will select the text (unless there's free space under the text, which doesn't happen if you the block is automatically resized).
I have checked on Mac, you can click anywhere inside the box where there is no text (eg the end of any line if text aligned is left) to select the background.

zoom
When snap to grid is on, it will only create new text. It won't select existing text for editing - probably because it isn't on the grid. This never used to happen before the latest update.

Illustrator 2018 Loses ability to keep text uniform when transforming the type on path
Illustrator 2017 had the ability to, while transforming the type on the path shape, to keep the text on it the same size and proportions when doing so. I would select the path with direct selection tool, then hit command, and text would stay uniform when transforming path.
Now, in illustrator 2018, using same steps and command, type doesn't stay uniform, it gets squished.
Below are video links I recorded to show how the action works in 2017 and 2018 illustrator.
2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8QORO_9Xro
2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XscdrAqBZR8Notice how type gets distorted when moving bounding box in 2018, but I was able…

Fonts Slow EVERYTHING Down
Fonts are the slowest feature in programs from MS Office to Adobe. This problem just caused me to lose work because AI shut down while trying to figure out how to manage a standard font with which I was working. Thanks for nothing AI and your simpleton font generators. You're fired.

"Load paragraph styles" or "Load all styles" doesn't overwrite styles with same name
I have a set of 9 template files that I need to update. Each file contains an identical set of about a dozen paragraph styles. I want to update all the paragraph styles in all of the files.
I updated the styles in the first file (correctstyles.ai) and changed kerning from Auto to Optical. When I open the next file, (e.g. SHED-2023-5-simple-columns-narrow.ai), I use "Load Para Styles" and choose the first file (correctstyles.ai). When I check the style definitions, kerning is still set to Auto. The kerning value should have changed to Optical to match the style from…2 votes -
Eyedropper DOES NOT CONSIDER COLOR EXCLUSION for TEXTS MULTICOLOR
Eyedropper tool between two text boxes with mixed color letters. How to copy ONLY text attributes leaving the colors unchanged.
Even by deselecting fill color and stroke color in the eyedropper detection and eyedropper application boxes, the color of the destination text becomes unique depending on which is pressed as the source and the letters do not remain colored differently.
Please resolve!2 votes -

Thin space and hair space have wrong widths
In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1ptIn Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.…

Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjusted
This issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it.
This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023.
If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character…

PDF live text strings are broken into individual character groups
Operating system: Windows 10
Version: Illustrator 28When importing PDF files into Illustrator, some live text strings are broken up into individual characters inside group layers.
The same text strings are not broken if the PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat.

Make it possible again to move Text by its Anchor Point
When Text is baseline shifted, it is no longer possible to move the Text Object by grabbing its Anchor Point, unfortunately.
Please repair that.

Changing text case switches hyphenation on ( from off )
Switching the text case from one case to another turns hyphenation on if it was previously set to off.
I believe this is a new bug in v 27.9. ( today's date is Oct 5 ,2023 for the record )
This is especially bad becuase users have been asking for hyphenation to be OFF by default. Asking for years and years. 5+ years I think.
