Font Activation Not working in Illustrator 2020
I have repeatedly tried to activate fonts from Adobe Type with no success. It keeps showing as Activating. When I go to fonts.adobe.com it shows that the font is activated (Good Times Ultra Light) in the browser but in Illustrator it never shows the cloud with the checkmark. I have rebooted but still the same issue.

Can't see the fint size in the type panel
Hi, I work in publishing so I need to see the font size in the top bar but all I can see in illustrator 2020 is the stroke size when I choose the T tool. When I watch tutorials I can see they have the type bar across the top but all I have is the character window which is very cumbersome when I need to constantly change the font size. Can you tell me how I can see that type bar? Is it something simple because I just can't figure out how?

Issues
My text is not showing up from even previous projects. Plus if I copy text from other programs, Illustrator just spools and quits.

full screen
When clicking on the full-screen button (the big green plus) it should maximise the window on its own virtual desktop.
Currently on MacOS it uses the non-standard behaviour of maximising itself on the home desktop and putting itself to the front.
This causes problems because uses think it is on its own virtual desktop and so keep swiping to try and find the home desktop, or they worry that they cannot see another of their other windows or apps on the home desktop.

Myriad Pro Condensed text disappears
I opened up an Illustrator file that I update yearly. The text is all in Myriad Pro, in a variety of styles. The section of text that was in Myriad Pro Condensed completely disappeared. The text line was still there, but when I typed nothing appeared. Changed the style to any other style (regular, bold, bold condensed and I can type it in, but if I change it back to condensed it disappears again.

Illustrator not outlining type correctly
I've only started to encounter this recently and it doesn't happen with all fonts. When I outline certain typefaces - such as your Source Sans - it outlines parts of some letters individually, such as the bar in the letter 'A' in the attached example, or does some bizarre detour as seen in both the comma and the apostrophe (the two most typical examples I could think of).
All I am doing is outlining type with no stroke.
I'm running Illustrator 24.3 and Catalina 10.15.6

When copying text in Arabic or Hebrew, Illustrator messes up the characters.
Somehow the text gets flipped into Jibberish. Even when Arabic fonts are used such as Adobe Arabic. This causes the world to be filled with jibberish Hewbrew and Arabic.

Fonts not being listed in Illustrator when used in a clipping group with transparency effects
Adobe Illustrator CC 24.3. Windows 10 Pro 1909. OS Build 18363.1082
Converting fonts to outlines did not catch the ones used in a clipping group with transparency effects. The effect was an embossed look. When the fonts weren't activated for the file, the embossed look changed as it substituted a font, but Illustrator gave no warning and no fonts were listed in the "Find Fonts" panel. The font used in the emboss effect was listed when viewed in Acrobat but not Illustrator.

Text Appearance Attributes have a ghost text underneath visible.
When I add a stroke of white to black fill, there remains, unmovable original beneath. So it shows up where where not desired. See attachments.
