  1. Alternative glyph (made with Fontself 3.5) don’t shown in text, when not installed in OSX or restart AI

    I have a problem testing a new font. I create a font (Fonstelf 3.5.0) with character “a” and an alternative “a.alt” glyphs. I installed the new font just local for/in Adobe Illustrator CC 2020. In the window “Glyphes” I can see my alternative characters. But when I enter a text with the text tool, I only get “a” instead of “a.alt” which I selected in window “Glyphes”. I save my test.ai document.

    After install the font with font book in the OSX 10.14.6 I can use and see “a.alt”. Funny fact: After installing the font and re-open test.ai document, the…

  3. Adobe Illustrator point location does not move when changing Y coordinates value by a hundredth.

    Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.1 on Windows 10 x64 Version 10.0.18362

    After giving an object a stroke of 5 and attempting to move a point in the bottom left corner, I discovered that it was not being consistent when being changed in the hundredths. When changing it, it appears to be the same as whatever position it was before. I expected the Y value 483.61 to put the location of the point somewhere in between the coordinates 483.6 and 483.611, but this is not the case.

  4. Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files created in the same version WIN 10

    Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files. It seams to only affect AI files created in version 24.1.

    When attempting to link the AI, illustrator does not generate any preview of the file. It allows the user to follow the placing process but no content is shown when placed on the artboard and also it does not honor the linked file dimensions.
    After hitting the "cancel" button on the import tool an error message appears stating Illustrator could not read the ai file.

    The same file can be linked successfully when saved as a PDF.
    The files to be linked sit…

  8. Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF

    Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF. I have created a sunburst shape in illustrator using a circle shape, then adding a dashed like stroke. The file looks totally fine in illustrator and also when I save it as a PNG and JPG, but when I save it as a PDF the sunburst is distorted (uneven lines). I even sent an illustrator file to a printer and my prints arrived distorted, which means they had the same problem. They are also using the latest version of illustrator. Is this a bug?

    The larger file shows the…

  13. double rulers

    I've isolated exactly when this occurs. If I use the preflight panel, then go into overprint preview mode, it happens when I exit overprint preview mode in the preflight panel. At that point, the top ruler becomes two rulers. It happens maybe 70% of the time. Furthermore, when this happens, the cursor becomes offset by the same size as the lower ruler. The cursor is off by something like 3/4 inch. It's easy to resolve it. Control/Y and Control/Y again and it resolves, but it keeps coming back. This only happens on my Mac which is from around 2014. It…

  17. Text in opened SVG is wrong size and outside artboard in v23.1 and v24.0.2

    In newer versions of Illustrator (23.1 and 24.0.2, for example) the text in our SVG files may appear at the wrong size and outside the artboard. This incorrect text commonly appears at the top-left.

    The ZIP file contains a problem SVG, a preview JPG of how it should appear, and any customer-provided files used in the design.

    Also attached are copies of each version's System Info readouts and a screenshot of a problem design open in AI 24.0.2.

  18. Shortcut Window doesn't auto close

    When opening Illustrator you are welcomed by the shortcut window showing previous files and most used file creation options etc.

    On Illustrator 24.0.3 and previous iterations when using the shortcut window the file opens as it should but you are left with a blank shortcut window open, which then needs to be closed. I have attached a screenshot.

  19. Character Information in Properties Panel not appearing

    When I click on any text the Character information in the properties panel immediately disappears. The character information is only visible before I click with the Text tool. This is making it REALLY difficult to work with text.

  20. Fill & Stroke colors & gradients selective but only previous fill visible on object

    Latest Windows PC Version 10 64-bit. Adobe 2020 (24.0.2).
    Everything was normal until I began drawing a regular 5-point star with green fill & black stroke (fill color doesn't really matter). Layer shows correct colors of star in layers panel but the layer folder and what's visible on screen show no change in red fill result (which was set previously). In other words, choosing different fill colors made no difference. However, stroke color can be changed. Tried other shapes with same results. (Even restarted Illustrator.)
    Putting another shape on top of a previous shape caused the stroke of 2nd shape…
