6. フォントの表示がおかしい

   本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
   ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。

9. Bug - Cannot access Hands on tutorials

   I was doing the hands on tutorials and then I loaded into the app and the section for them was gone in my tutorials tab. I found the webpage online that allows me to launch hands on tutorials from browser https://www.adobe.com/learn/illustrator?tutorialType=inApp&learnIn=1 and it leads to the screenshot provided. I would love to be able to continue doing the hands on tutorials. I ensured that I have no VPN installed, I updated graphics drivers, and reinstalled Illustrator to no avail.

10. Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used

    Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
    Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
    The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
    When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors, you get a warning about a Missing Profile (which is not true) when you create or open a file while the Global (or Spot) Colors are still in the Recent Colors (they are available across documents). If you click OK the file opens, just as it would with the warnings off. The warning will not show again during the current session. But if you click Cancel (as many times as the number of Global/Spot Colors that you have in your Recent Colors). The file will open with the recent Global/Spot Colors converted to None.

11. Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update

    I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.

    When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.

    Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.

    Thank you for your support.

13. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

    When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

15. Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)

    When an object with a gradient is rotated manually using the bounding box (corner handles), the gradient does not rotate with the object.
    However, using the Rotate tool or Object > Transform > Rotate results in correct gradient behavior.

    This silent inconsistency leads to invisible errors in print output — especially in professional workflows.

    🧪 The bug was tested on multiple Illustrator versions, macOS and Windows, fresh installs, and clean preference files. It is reproducible.

16. Upon reopening Ai files, it shows that fonts are missing when they aren't

    To fix the "error" I have to navigate to Adobe fonts, uninstall each font one by one, as uninstalling a font family all at once doesn't fix the issue, then individually reinstall each font. Super tedious and taxing to workflow. Issue is across multiple files, all that I have created on the same device that presents the "missing font" dialogue so I know it isn't a file issue. Please fix.

    Windows 10 Pro
    Adobe Illustrator v 29.5.1

17. [ExtendScript] Cannot set TextRange.justification to value in ParagraphStyle

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create new document
    2. Run the below script

    Expected Result: all tests passed and no alert message appears.

    Actual result: Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.

    Script:

    (function () {
    
        var doc = app.activeDocument,
            textFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
    
        textFrame.textRange.contents = 'Hello.';
    
        // prepare for the test, ensuring - due to the bug - that the justification won't match the applied paragraph style
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
        // test RIGHT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.RIGHT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to RIGHT.');
    
        // test CENTER justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.CENTER)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to CENTER.');
    
        // test LEFT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.LEFT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.');
    
    })();
    

    Additional note: in the link above, users discovered that performing a resize on the textFrame somehow removes the blockage and Justification.LEFT can be set afterwards. Perhaps it breaks the link to the paragraph style?

    Edit 2025-05-23: to add details about the possible link to the applied paragraph style.

    A possible temporary workaround:

    // set LEFT justification
    textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
    // now check it
    if (
        Justification.LEFT !== textFrame.textRange.justification
        && Justification.LEFT === textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification
    ) {
        // bypass a bug where we can't set the attribute that matches the applied paragraph style:
        //  - change the applied paragraph style's justification
        //  - then change the textFrame's justification to the style's previous value,
        //  - then return the paragraph styles original setting
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.LEFT;
    }
    

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create new document
    2. Run the below script

18. Warning message for over 15 years "This file has been modified outside of Illustrator"

    There needs to be a way to disable this warning message. I have only seen this error in Illustrator, and it has been around for over 15 years with no solid solution. It appears to be related to file timestamps, but when a user is working on a file, saved on a file server, and they are the ONLY one who has access to the file, this error should NEVER appear. This error appears for Windows or Mac users, saving files on either a network or cloud storage location. So far, Adobe's solution is "just save the file locally". This is not a solution. There are many reasons files are not stored locally.
    It would be best to have the option to disable this file check Adobe is doing. It does not help anyone.

19. Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.

    The following code will fail with the error "Cannot get document 1". The error occurs when the save command’s with options parameter is a record containing a embed icc profile property.

    save document 1 in filePath as Illustrator with options {embed icc profile:true}
    I have verified that a) the ICC profile was already embedded in the source document, and that if I save the file via the GUI, checking the box to save the ICC profile works. Using AppleScript to save the Illustrator file does not retain the ICC profile.

    This fails on macOS 14.5 and Illustrator 27.x and 28.5. It also fails on macOS 15.4 and Illustrator 29.5.0. It also fails on macOS 15.3.2 and Illustrator 28.7.6 and 29.5.

    According to another user, JavaScript works properly. However, JavaScript is not a workaround for me.
    var d = app.documents[0];

    var saveOptions = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    saveOptions.flattenOutput = OutputFlattening.PRESERVEAPPEARANCE;
    saveOptions.embedICCProfile = true;

    d.saveAs(new File('~/testjs.ai'), saveOptions);

    Please help -- I need to be able to save an Illustrator file with AppleScript, that has an embedded ICC profile.
