  1. 一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されない

    macOS Tahoe 26.0 / Macbook Pro Late 2023
    Illustrator 29.8.1

    添付画像のとおり、一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されません。
    他のAdobeアプリ(Photoshop等)では正常に表示されますが、Illustratorだけがダメです。
    また、同じフォントでもウエイトによって表示される文字と表示されない文字が混在している様です。

    さらに、フォントパネル上ではフォント名が表示されていますが「フォントの検索と置換」のドキュメント内のフォント名が文字化けしています。

    Illustrator 28.7.9では正常に表示されている様なので、OS依存のバグではなさそうです。

  2. Lorem ipsum placeholder text spelled incorrectly

    This is silly, but the placeholder word "consectetur" is spelled incorrectly as "consectetuer"

  3. Illustrator最新版で A-OTF フォントが使用できない件について

    お世話になっております。

    現在、以下の環境で A-OTF フォントが Illustrator で使用できない 不具合が発生しております。

    環境

    macOS：15.6.1（Sequoia）

    Adobe Illustrator：最新版（28.x）

    Morisawa Fonts アプリ：最新版を使用

    フォント例：A-OTF ゴシックMB101 Pr5

    症状

    Illustrator のフォント一覧には A-OTF フォントが表示されるが、選択すると代替フォントに置き換わり使用できない。

    Photoshop など他の Adobe アプリ（Photoshop、InDesign）では同じフォントを正常に使用可能。

    Morisawa Fonts アプリ上では該当フォントはアクティブ化されている。

    実施済み対策

    Illustrator のアンインストール／クリーンインストール

    環境設定・キャッシュの削除

    Morisawa Fonts アプリの再インストール、ログイン／再アクティブ化

    macOS 再起動

    上記すべてを実施しても改善せず

    特記事項

    Illustratorを一つ古いバージョン（27.x）に戻したところ、問題なくフォントを使用できた。

    よって、最新版 Illustrator（28.x）と macOS 15.6.1 環境における A-OTF フォントの不具合である可能性が高いと考えられる。

    ご確認いただきたいこと

    Illustrator最新版と macOS 15.6.1 環境での A-OTF フォント非対応／不具合について既知の情報があるか

    修正版のリリース予定があるか

    回避策があればご教示いただきたい

  4. Illustrator crashes when I double-click a text to edit

    These are awful. You are awful. The program has closed 10 times. The reason is I don't want to double-click a text and edit it. I can't get it to work. You're screwed for the program. Every time I double-click a text and try to edit something, the program closes. The world's highest-earning software is a worthless software team.

  6. Quit making fonts unavailable (Neuropol)

    Almost every time that I open my menus and logos the fonts that I use are no longer available. I used the same Neuropol font for my menus and logos for 14 years before going to the cloud-based software. Since going to cloud based software I have had to resolve the missing Neuropol font to a slightly different variation at least 4 or 5 times. Not only is it annoying and time consuming, it is causing inconsistencies in my brand, and with this current update, it does not work at all.

  7. Many issues in Illustrator 2025

    Hi everyone,
    I'm experiencing a range of serious issues in Illustrator 2025 when working with AI or PDF files (many of which originate as PDFs and are then converted to AI for editing). Here's a breakdown of what's going wrong:

    ⚠️ Main Problems:

    Error ID: -128 when pasting text
    Every time I try to paste text into a text box—whether copied from a browser, a PDF, or even another Illustrator file—I get an error saying:
    Can't paste the type. ID: -128
    This makes it impossible to replace or update any existing text areas.

    Can't move objects: transformation too large
    When…

  8. Installed Fonts not showing

    Previously installed fonts not showing anymore. Says the fonts are missing but it worked previously and maybe 1 in 10 times it will have no error and the fonts will show. These fonts exist on my PC so it's not a cloud issue as far as i can see.

  9. Font Weights Change Upon Opening Files

    When opening a file I previously saved, all the font weights switched around. Things that were bold were now light and light font were bold. A few fonts were switched out to different fonts altogether, even though the same font was still in the document, so it wasn't like it was unavailable.
    I deleted any duplicate of the fonts and only had fonts from Adobe Fonts used in my documents, but the problem didn't go away. When opening an older version of the file that had the correct fonts weights, it would automatically change once I saved it.
    I ended…

  10. Fonts change after reopening Illustrator file

    I created a mailer in Illustrator with around 10–12 artboards and exported everything perfectly with the correct fonts. When I reopened the same file after two days to make changes, all the fonts had changed automatically, some text had disappeared, and the layout no longer matched my earlier exported JPGs. The fonts were installed and displaying correctly at the time of the first export, so the issue only appeared after reopening the saved file. I’ve attached the before/after GIF to show the difference.

  11. Missing fonts are no longer highlighted when file opens

    Quand j'ouvre un fichier et que je n'ai pas la police ouverte, avant j'avais le texte en surbrillance ce qui permettait de voir où la police était manquante.
    Maintenat j'ai bien la fen^tre qui s'ouvre me disant que la police est manquante, mais je ne vois pas où ?

    When I open a file and I don't have the font open, I used to have the text highlighted, which allowed me to see where the font was missing.
    Now I have the window that opens telling me that the font is missing, but I can't see where it is.

  12. 割注指定の文字と通常の文字の間のカーニングおよびトラッキングができない

    「割注で2段に指定した文字」と「通常フォントサイズの文字」の字間をカーニングおよびトラッキングで広げることはできますが、詰めることができません。環境設定でトラッキング「100/1000em」で設定もしています。割注設定している文字の字間は詰めることはできるのですが…。

  13. Text style in a mess when editing text. They appear ok in Preview mode. I can't complete the task or job.

    I am trying to edit this text in illustrator 29.7.1. Each time a type, make an amendment to the existing text it scrambles all of the settings and messes everything up (please see screenshots of before and after). I've tried to output to PDF but this also displays in a mess. Please let me know if there is a fix so I don't have to abandon this job and start again. Thanks, D

  14. All Text Disappeared!

    I saved my file as .aic but the next time I opened it all the text layers disappeared! Everytime I open the file it automatically creates a recovered version also, but still no text. I also cannot download the version from cloud that shows the last version I made with all the text still visible.

  15. When a justified area type with a short line gets converted into a point type, text shifts

    Why this justified text suddenly jumps into the middle of the area type’s bounds when converted into a point type? Not new at all, happens in CC2017 at least. It should stay where it was. If I change it to be just left-aligned, it works as expected.

  16. Fonts get missing on file reopening

    Sometimes when I open a file I have already worked on, fonts go missing even though I used them before closing the file.

  17. 特定の状態のパス上文字を操作するとIllustratorがクラッシュする。

    macOS 14.7.2／iMac27inch/i5/1TB/32GB
    Illustrator ver.29.7.1

    再現手順
    1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に楕円を描画する。
    2. パス上文字ツールで楕円をクリックして楕円を対象にパス上文字を作成
    3. 左右のブラケットを楕円の左右のアンカーポイントに合わせる。
    4. 中央のブラケットを操作するとブラケットが反対側に飛んだり戻ったりする。
    5. 4の挙動の後にクラッシュする。

    期待する結果
    ブラケット操作時に安定して操作できる。

    実際の結果
    ブラケットの操作が不安定で、高確率で最悪クラッシュする。

    回避方法
    楕円の一部をはさみツールで切断しておくことで不安定な動作を回避可能。

    EN
    Step to reproduce
    1. Open a new document and draw an ellipse on the artboard.
    2. Click on the ellipse with the Type on Path tool to create a Type on Path for the ellipse.
    3. Align the left and right brackets with the left and right anchor points of the ellipse.
    4. manipulating the center bracket causes the bracket to jump to the opposite side or back.
    5. crash after behavior of 4.

    Expected Results
    No crash…

  18. Morisawa Fontsの和文バリアブルフォントDriveFluxが使えない

    いつのバージョンからかMorisawa Fontsの和文バリアブルフォントDriveFluxが急に使えなくなりました。macOS 15.6、Illustrator 2024 29.7.1を使用しています。2024の最初の方は使えてたんですが、どこかのマイナーバージョンアップで急に表示されなくなってしまいました。2025でも使えません。モリサワに相談したところ「こちらではどうしようもないのでAdobeさんに相談してください」とのことでした。ちなみにMonotypeの和文バリアブルフォントは問題ありません。ご対応お願いします。

  20. Character Panel Type, Leading and Scaling sizes have extra added decimals

    Ai 2025 v29.5 / Mac Sequoia 15.6 / M1 Macbook Pro / 32GB RAM - but happening on other macs with different configurations as well but same Ai version.
    We're noticing extra decimals are being added as shown in the attached screenshot. Despite choosing sizes from the drop-downs and then saving the file, the decimals return. I see a few others have posted about this previously but I haven't seen any resolution posts. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
