  4. 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?

  5. Keyboard increment setting bug

    Illustrator 24.2.1
    Mac OS 14.6 iMac Late 2015 27"

    Same problem exists as of 24.2.1: the default for Keyboard Increment does not stick properly when units are set to Picas. My existing default of 0p1 (1 point) has changed to 0p0.9996 (0.9996 point), and any attempt to change it to 0p1 while in Picas does not stick. However, if units are Points, it stays correctly at 1pt, but change the units to Picas, the value changes to 0p0.9996.

    UPDATE: this happens in other places than the Prefernce for Keyboard Increment, and also happens whether the units are Picas or Points.…

  8. Deselect All does nothing when you edit width profile of selected path

    If you have a path selected and you work on editing its width markers with a proper tool and then Deselect all — path get deselected, but you still have your width markers active.

    So, AI basically allows you to edit width markers on paths without selecting them. It can be treated both good and bad, but when I say 'Deselect' I usually mean 'Stop anything from being selected' in ANY meaning, including editing width profile. Pressing Escape helps, but... you just don't expect it.

  11. Overheating?

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    Fan goes into overdrive each time I open any of the newly updated Adobe Aps (example Illustrator 25.0.1) Going back to previous versions fixes the issue.

  12. I am using Illustrator v25.0 64-bit on Windows 10 and the Up/Down keys are swapped with the Left/Right keys.

    I am using Illustrator v25.0 64-bit on Windows 10 and the Up/Down keys are swapped with the Left/Right keys.

    Basically, if i select a shape and try to move it left with the left arrow key, it results in the shape moving down. The other arrow keys are also linked to incorrect directions. This behavior is only happening since the recent update.

  13. Lost extra Pantone Colours after Illustrator 2021 update

    I have registered a Pantone booklet and downloaded the PANTONE colour manager to gain the extra missing Pantone swatch colours. This was working fine but after the 2021 update I have lost them.

    I have tried going back into the Pantone Colour Manager and re-updating the newest colour books I want (PANTONE Solid Coated-V4 and PANTONE+ Solid Coated-336). But the Applications to apply them to as options are only InDesign and Photoshop. If I click the + button below to Add Illustrator to the list, it says I have to click the Browse button and locate the Illustator.exe file. I…

  16. 폰트 호환성 관련하여

    일러스트 CC 사용중입니다.

    작업을 하면서 국가에서 배포한 Free 글꼴을 사용중인데, 새로 만들기 할 때는 유첨자료 처럼 잘 보이는데, 새롭게 불러오기 하고 나면 글꼴이 없다는 메세지가 계속 뜹니다.

    글꼴의 호환성 문제일 듯 한데, Free 글꼴을 adobe에 정식적으로 등록하는 방법이 없는지 궁금합니다.

  19. Stability update made Illustrator very unstable

    I noticed the 27/07/2020 update described itself as addressing stability issues, which I didn't have. Since the update ran, 3 hours ago, I've had three crashes - all when copying text and graphics together. My crash report crashed too.

  20. 塗りブラシツールで使用しているブラシが勝手に切り替わる仕様について

    adobe illustrator2020
    塗りブラシツールにて
    ユーザー定義のライブラリから設定したブラシを使用して線を描画

    選択ツールなどに切り替えて移動などを行う

    もう一度塗りブラシツールに切り替えると、基本ブラシや別のユーザー定義ブラシに勝手に切り替わる

    この仕様かバグの修正をお願いしたいです。

    illustrator2018にはこの仕様はありません。

    環境はmacbook pro 2016 OS10.15.5 です。

    イラストの仕事で一番頻繁に使うのが塗りブラシツールなので
    これが修正されないとillustrator2020にいつまでも移行できずにいます。

    ご対応していただける事を願っております。
