    Eilert from Hej Stylus! writing. Hej Stylus! is a tool that smoothes tablet output amongst other features.

  4. Stylus is slow using touch workspace

    Using a stylus on normal workspace is more responsive than using brush or pencil tool on touch workspace which is about a second lap to show what we drew

  5. Incorrect display of Bangla (Bengali) sequence র‍্য

    This sequence, which is described in detail in the Unicode Standard, involves a zero-width joiner character that should force display of the final form of the last letter. This works correctly in InDesign and Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Please see https://twitter.com/TiroTypeworks/status/1354160819865493505?s=20 for more details.

  6. Incorrect file extension when exporting to *.png

    Hello! When I try to export an illustration to *.png, the file generated ends up with a *.dwg extension. If I rename the *.dwg-file to *.png and open it it's still a valid *.png file.

    The export is done using File->Export->Export As... Select *.png as file type, type a filename (with no dot in it), press Export. Select Resolution 150ppi, press ok. A *.dwg file is now created at the selected path

  13. Artwork from CC Libraries doesn't keep its name when placed into other apps

    It used to be that when you added AI artwork into a CC library and gave it a name there, it kept its name when the artwork was placed into for example InDesign document. All my libraries have artwork with names, but when I place any of them into InDesign it simply shows up as "Artwork 1.ai" in Links. However, this doesn't seem to be buggy for all artwork in the CC libraries, just new ones I created in the last few days.

  14. Bug of saving in the background of Illustrator 2020

    If you save a document that uses a 2-byte spot color name in ai format, place this file in InDesign, Illustrator, etc.
    It will be replaced by "Global color". And even if you export the PDF, it will be reflected. Turning off saving in the background can work around this, but this is an issue that should be resolved as soon as possible.

  15. Repeat grid is ALMOST awesome.

    The repeat grid is awesome EXCEPT for the fact that it puts all of the objects on the same layer when expanded. This doesn't work.

    I'm trying to make stickers with a dieline. It laid and and spaced them wonderfully except now I have to go back and manually fix the dielines that are now on the same layer as the art. Lame. No thanks, going back to the old way by hand and replicating a correct object.

  16. Photo exports come out faded

    I recently updated Illustrator for the M1 chip on my MacBook Pro.
    Now when I save an Illustrator document that contains photos as a press ready PDF (or any other file type) the photos become desaturated, and look faded.
    This is a problem as I am often preparing files to be printed and my colors no longer look accurate. How can this be solved?

  17. テキストにセットしたFOT-UD角ゴが正しく表示されない。(設定の狂った小塚ゴシックで表示される)

    テキストにセットしたFOT-UD角ゴフォントが正しく表示されない。
    ドキュメント内のすべてのFOT-UD角ゴに適用されるわけではなく、正常に表示される部分とされない部分が存在している。

    ドキュメントを開いた際に、FOT-UD角ゴではなく、UDKakugo LargePr6N-M-90ms-RKSJ-H*のアクティベートを求められることから、UD角ゴを指定した際に、フォントの英語名での指定にすり替わっているのではないかと考えられる。

    ディアクティベーション後にリアクティベーションしても治らない。
    ドキュメントをFOT-UD角ゴで作って保存後に閉じて開きなおすと、UD-kakugoがないとされて、表示が崩れる。
    その後、FOT-UD角ゴを指定しなおしても、小塚ゴシックで表示される。
    なので保存をするとUD角ゴを使っていた部分すべてが崩れる。
    修正をしても保存したら崩れる。
    Adobe Fonts側の問題なのか、illustrator側の問題かわからないので、ここに報告しておく。

    (フォントの内部的にUDkakukgoの情報が保持されていて、上書きができない?)

  18. 文字をアウトライン化した後、グループ解除して透明度をつけるとR形状の部分のアンカーのハンドルと同じ角度の補助線のようなラインがでる

    再現手順

    3.不透明度をつける(データは20%設定)

    フォントはいくつか試しましたが、試したフォント全てにでました

  20. Paintbrush tool stops working while drawing - 100% GPU usage

    Using the paintbrush tool, when drawing a continous shape/line, it stops drawing after a little while, even if I keep the pen pressed, or mouse button (same result).

    If I use the GPU rendering/viewing mode, the GPU usage keep climbing if I keep drawing, until it reaches 100% GPU usage and stops working. And that is on a RTX 3090. On CPU view mode, it stops way sooner/faster, after 3 seconds almost. As soon as I let go and stop drawing, it completes the shape, but only up until the point that it stopped drawing.

    Video attached with the problem.
