  1. オブジェクト(主にテキスト)が選択できない

    打ち込みをしたテキストが選択できないことが多々発生しております。
    その部分は印刷もできないので文字が抜けたまま出力し現場に回ってしまうという業務に支障が出ています。
    保存をして落とし再び立ち上げると問題は解決するのですが毎回その動作をするわけにもいかず、必ず不具合が起こっているわけでもないので困っています。これはPCの問題でしょうか?ご回答お願いします。(著作権等の問題で一部しか画像がのせれません)

  2. Cap Height setting not using Font Cap Height

    Hello, the option for setting a size of a font by the font's specified cap height appears to be using a metric other than the cap height in at least one instance.

  3. variable font

    There's some sort of bug in AI 25.2.1 where the variable font icon disappears after working for some time. A properly installed OT variable font doesn't have the icon to adjust its width axis.

  4. ð (eth) and Ð (Eth) glyphs not recognised as the same character

    The glyphs ð (eth) and Ð (Eth) are lower and upper case of the Icelandic character eth. Illustrator has no problems working with them, except when you need to change the case, whether you do that by Type->Change Case or by changing the character attribute to All caps (or small caps for that matter).

    This is a recurring bug in Illustrator, which has been fixed at least twice before, but somehow creeps in a few versions later. I suspect some legacy code in the internal text engine, which does not reflect the relationship between the two characters.

    I’m including a…

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.0.2 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  5. TEXT TOOL NOT WORKING - WEIRD SHAPES APPEAR

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same issue remains

    I create a text box and it looks like a barcode, kind of. I can't type anything. If I type, the weird barcode thing disappears and no works appear. If I type a lot of random characters and enlarge it and unselect the box it gets weirder, it just become a giant jagged blob. I can't explain it any better than that. Extremely annoying.

  7. Margin or Adjustment Markers for Type on Path not showing

    The margins or markers on the left and right side for adjusting the type showed up for a moment but then can't get them to reappear again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

    I was able to get the margins to show by starting a new document but after a while they disappear or stop working. Can this bug be looked into please thank you.

  8. Strings that are too long per line are not rendered

    Strings that are too long in one line are not rendered

    OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    Ai Version: 25.2.1

    This problem is probably caused by documents that are larger than about 2000px on a side.
    If the text has no line breaks and exceeds a certain font size, the text will not be displayed at all.
    Image output is also not possible.
    It is also common for this problem to occur at the same time as Adobe Fonts license errors and save errors.
    In most cases, the number of characters that stop the string from rendering is more than 1000,…

  10. Font Preview Size

    In Illustrator 24.2.3,
    We are not able to change the Font Preview Size in the preference Dialogue in/under the Type Tab, and you also do not have the same feature in the Type Menu, which is the right place to set the Font Previews size default,
    we are also not able to see the Font names in the written text as a preview in the Font/Character Menu.

  13. Justification, distance inter-mots

    macOS 10.14.6. Illustrator 25.1

    Quand une ligne de texte ne comporte que des chiffres (ex : numéro de téléphone), la distance inter-mot est toujours à 100% et ne reflète pas les réglages d'espacement du panneau paragraphe/justification.
    Il suffit d'ajouter une lettre en début ou en fin de ligne pour que le réglage soit pris en compte.

  15. Regular Text in SVG opens as Italics

    Please check the attached AI which was saved from an SVG exported from Avid Sibelius 2021.2 on macOS 11.2.1 — in Finder and Spotlight the preview is correct and corresponds to what was in the source program (Sibelius).
    Opening the file in Illustrator makes all text objects which were in Academico font, Regular weight, become Italics weight.
    Opening the file in Affinity Designer doesn't show this particular problem.

    I cannot attach the SVG so I'll attach the AI.
    I hope you can investigate it in the same way.
    This is the Dropbox link to the SVG: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4aja38o3iu0txu/bach-inventio4_0001.svg?dl=0

  16. Text height is wrong

    When you select a specific text height, it is not correct. Say for instance you select 1 inch for text height but in reality the cap height is .68 inches. We work at a sign shop and a lot of jobs require a specific text height. This is misleading when I pick 1 inch for text height and it is no where near 1 inch in height. Can you please make it where the text height corelates to the actual cap height of the text, otherwise this feature is useless.

    Latest Illustrator releases have Font Height Options you can access form Character panel’s menu — they allow you to set font height as a capital / x-height specifically.

    The functionality has some minor issues (regarding rounded stems for some fonts, keeping the chosen option between launches), but otherwise it is very good. Please try it!

  17. Font Size reduces by 0.003 pt (bug ?)

    1. Adobe Illustrator CC 2020 (24.3, Mac), required for client delivery requirements.

    2. We have very strict font specifications. In many EPS files, the font sizes appear to reduce by .003 pt no matter which way I select and change the font size: select the element [either with a selection tool or the Text tool], change to 12 pt, deleselct, select the font element again and it's back to 11.997 pt. (see text issue mp4 attached, raw data of EPS included as well). New/recreated text elements begin behaving this way as well. This happens in specific EPS files, and to multiple users.

  19. Adobe Fonts Agenda Light not appearing in font menus

    I've downloaded and activated the Agenda typeface family - 54 fonts.

    Adobe Fonts website indicates this. The 'Find More' font menu within Illustrator indicates this. Extensis Suitcase Fusion indicates this.

    However, only 53 fonts appear in application menus, Agenda Light is not available even though Adobe Fonts and Suitcase Fusion indicate it is.

    I've restarted apps and rebooted my computer, Agenda Light is more evasive than Big Foot.

    I've contacted support at Extensis to see if it is a Suitcase Fusion issue and/or if it is Adobe's issue.

    Any idea of why this is happening? The attached ZIP file contains…

  20. Live text displaying incorrectly along with objects/outlined text

    1. I am running an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) with Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2)
      Adobe is version 25.1

    2. I have recently upgraded my imac and the type is displaying jagged, and filling in areas that shouldn't be when applying a small stroke (attaching images for reference). The issue occurs when I'm using GPU. When I swap to CPU, it actually displays perfectly, but moving around the artboard and zooming becomes super laggy and slow. When I outline the text, the filled in area (on the M) disappears, which is good, but I do experience that same jaggedness you can see in…
