  2. 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

  3. Problem with Type on a Path after ver. 26.1 update

    Prior to updating Adobe Illustrator to ver. 26.1, a drawing with Type on a Path appears as it should. After the update, the text is positioned in a different place along the path. This is confirmed on a second computer. The same file opened on the second computer prior to the update appears normal, and after the update, the text is shifted.

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。


    ご報告いただいた「合成フォントが使用されているパス上文字をアウトライン化した際に、一部の文字が正しくアウトライン化されない現象」の再現を確認いたしました。

    こちらの問題は曲線パス上の文字の角度によって、再現の有無があるようです。

    また、ノーマルフォントの場合は再現しませんが、単一フォントのみで作成された合成フォントでは再現することが確認できました。


    今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

  7. copy paste text turns to outlines.

    coy and pasting text turns random parts of it to outlines. if you option drag the text, it works fine, keeps all the text in tact. this happens even in the same document, other documents.

    makes working pretty much impossible between documents and just a pain in the same document.

  8. When checking spelling, Illustrator does not move to the selected area of the page making it harder to see the "error" in context.

    Have the viewable are move to the offending spelling like it does with InDesign.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. Converting Text to Outlines no longer creates Simple Ungroupable compound path.

    When converting text to outlines in Illustrator 27.2, the text becomes transparent, contained within a clipping mask, and ungroupable.

    Previously, the text would become a grouped compound path of the same fill color as it was as text. I could easily ungroup it.

    I now have to release the clipping mask, release compound path, and use the shape builder tool to fix the letters with holes in them that are now filled in (letters such as R, B, b, O, o, e, etc...

    I am using Windows 11

  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. Some variable fonts get expanded in parts

    If you apply a stroke to a live text using Acumin Variable Concept, Myriad Variable Concept, Minion Variable Concept fonts, the stroke stays solid.
    If you expand these, glyphs are united.

    However, if you do the same with Bahnschrift, Cascadia Code, Clash Grotesk Variable, Source Code Variable (and perhaps some other fonts), you get glyphs partitioned.

    To workaround this, we can use Pathfinder Add effect... but it won’t help if you have different fills applied to your characters.

    Why the results are different? why Illustrator treats some variable fonts as a collection of sub-parts, but others stay wholesome?

  14. 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.

  15. Glyphs in a type on a path are placed wrong, rotate and shift

    Type on a path seems to be glitching. There may be some setting I'm overlooking, but it's certainly never been an issue before my last update. Characters are rotating and randomly spacing along a smooth, curved path, as if there were sharp turns in the path.

    Also, if I'm using type-along-a-path and then scale the objects with the text still live, the text will often glitch and then even if I undo the scale, it remains glitched.

  16. Leading not Displaying Correctly

    Leading is not displaying properly in either the Character panel or in the Properties panel. Instead of showing the correct leading, Illustrator is showing the Auto value.

    Changing between the text, selection or direct selection tools does not solve the problem.

  17. URGENT: Enter key does not work in any Type Tools Illustrator Beta 26.6.555

    Adobe Tech Support was unable to resolve.

    This was not a problem in the prior release of 26.6 before .555

    When using the type tool in any form, horizontal, vertical, etc., the enter key no longer inserts either a [CR] or [CR LF].

    This is inconvenient for working with headlines or titling (attached graphic), but an absolute dealbreaker for working with long text.
