25.2.1 Windows 10 - Occasionally No Fonts Load
I am not sure if this is a reproducible but on Windows 10 1909, since upgrading to Illustrator 25.2.1 will occasionally not load any fonts after opening. The font selection dropdown list is entirely blank and no system fonts or activated typekit fonts show. I have no issue with fonts in any other programs.

Kerning not working between first two characters of any word
No matter what I do, I can't adjust the kerning between the first two characters of any word in illustrator. The rest of the word can be spaced just fine, just not between the the first two letters. Please help, this is sort of an essential duty of this software.
Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator 24.2.3

TEXT TOOL NOT WORKING - WEIRD SHAPES APPEAR
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same issue remains
I create a text box and it looks like a barcode, kind of. I can't type anything. If I type, the weird barcode thing disappears and no works appear. If I type a lot of random characters and enlarge it and unselect the box it gets weirder, it just become a giant jagged blob. I can't explain it any better than that. Extremely annoying.

Margin or Adjustment Markers for Type on Path not showing
The margins or markers on the left and right side for adjusting the type showed up for a moment but then can't get them to reappear again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.
I was able to get the margins to show by starting a new document but after a while they disappear or stop working. Can this bug be looked into please thank you.

Threaded text adds first line indents for each first line of the area also instead of paragraphs only
Using a W10 pro with the last version of Adobe CC Illustrator.
Steps:
I have a small brochure that has some articles. I use area-type and there are some artciles that span over multiple pages. I format my text: font Myriad Regular 12pt, with fist-line indent 14pt and text alignement justify with last lign aligned left.
In the case that the sentence splits at the end of the page, and continues on the next page, the rest of the sentence is shown with first-line indent (and it shouldn't). When selecting the text, the selection it shows you that there is…2 votes -
Cannot select objects near text object
This is a bug and not an idea.
I cannot seem to select object that are behind a text object, such as the black rectangle in this example. The blue line indicates the edge of the type area.

Illustrator font panels shows wrong data
When I have a text selected on Illustrator, the fonts panel shows a wrong font, it shows a font what I previously selected for a different text and not the font that the selected text actually is.
in other words, I cannot see what font is used unless I copy the text, and find the font that looks the same.Same thing with font size etc. if I have a text active and the font size is for example 47 px, and I just changed a different text size to 15 px, the fonts panel shows that all of my…

Icon font shows Tofu
I created a font with emoji. I installed it in the Application support/Adobe/Fonts folder as I do with all fonts I test. Emoji characters like duck show two Tofu characters, although in the glyphs panel it is displayed correctly, please see attached screenshot.
In all other applications, the character can be displayed.

Type on Path Brackets Not Appearing
When using type on path tool (and then direct selection for realignment), the brackets to realign often don't appear regardless of how long you tediously go over the path trying to get the cursor to change. In the off chance we can get them to appear, often it isn't possible to drag the text fully to where it needs to be to go in place before the cursor jumps. This isn't happening in Photoshop, only Illustrator, which leads me to believe it is a bug.

Just updated to Illustrator 24.3 and now installed font only has a few letters
I updated to the latest version of Illustrator (24.3) and opened a document I had created in a previous version. Most of my text was missing. I checked and the font was still available and activated. I deactivated and reactivated and that didn't help. When I click the text, it gives me the message that "This text was created in a different version of Illustrator. Editing the text may cause some changes to your text layout. Basic formatting will not be affected. Do you want to continue?" The font is PeachyKeenJF. Only a few letters/numbers actually show up. I'm on…

Text height is wrong
When you select a specific text height, it is not correct. Say for instance you select 1 inch for text height but in reality the cap height is .68 inches. We work at a sign shop and a lot of jobs require a specific text height. This is misleading when I pick 1 inch for text height and it is no where near 1 inch in height. Can you please make it where the text height corelates to the actual cap height of the text, otherwise this feature is useless.
2 votesLatest Illustrator releases have Font Height Options you can access form Character panel’s menu — they allow you to set font height as a capital / x-height specifically.
The functionality has some minor issues (regarding rounded stems for some fonts, keeping the chosen option between launches), but otherwise it is very good. Please try it!

Clicking "Add to Dictionary" on the right-click context menu for spell check does not update red underline...
When adding a word to the spell-check dictionary using the right-click context menu, the underline remains under the word. Shouldn't that get removed after adding the word to the dictionary? It does not get removed from other instances of the word in the document either.

new update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outline
new update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outline
Thai font deleted or missing when create outline.
Most of the time it happens to few or last fonts of the line.NOTE: weird thing is when newly launch the app and open CC2020 file first, Create Outline works fine. But once I open another file which is legacy file eg. CS6, this issue suddenly happens. After that if I continue working on CC2020 file, this issue also happens on CC2020 file.
The problem will reset once I quit the app and relaunch. And happen again if I open…2 votes -
Cannot stop Auto Resize on Area Type box for large text areas
I do not want my text box to auto-resize. The "Auto-Resize" option fails on large text box areas. Auto-Resize is turned off in my preferences. I have large text box areas filled with type and whenever I need to make an adjustment to the type box it always automatically resizes. I have tried selecting the "fixed" options and those fail too. In the video attached you can see that large areas of text will automatically resize. However, on a smaller scale the Area Type box does not.
