    2. What did:

    3. Made area type square object

    5. put this structure under mask (tried also to put every object under it's own mask- same result).

    6. added shape objects

    7. Scaled everything - everything fine.

    8. selected all the text in the structure and write new one with the same font/

    9. Scaled it

    10. Usually if you select this structure of connected area type boxes in company with some shape or object and scale all this, size of text in this boxes changes accordingly.

  3. Find and replace superscript

    I've tried copying the superscripted text to the clipboard and pasting in the Replace box of the Find and Replace dialog, but it loses the superscripting, and pastes into the document without it. I find I have to go into each occurrence individually and superscript each one.

  4. Enable Missing Clyph Protection

    ■English
    Normally, if a font is not found, the text background is highlighted.
    Text is not highlighted when I apply appearance.

    setting -> type -> Enable Missing Clyph Protection
    This is enabled.

    通常、フォントが見つからない場合、テキストの背景が強調表示されますが
    アピアランスを適用している場合、テキストが強調表示されません。

  5. Leaders in Tab

    I was using leader with tabs to draw lines. They do not flush evenly to the right in Illustrator 2020 (24.2.3). This feature works in Illustrator 2019 (23.1.1). On a Mac (10.14.6)

  7. Type on a path tool resizing causes crash

    I have the latest version of Illustrator CC 2020 v. 24.0.3. Unfortunately, everytime I try to resize a type on path, Illustrator crashes. I have restarted the app and system and that didn't help.

  8. Point Type moving when opening CC2019 AI file in AI2020

    MacOs Catalina 10.15.3
    CC2019 version 23.1.1
    AI2020 version 24.2.1

    Only seems to occur when the text is aligned to the centre, set as point type and has tracking applied to it.

    We have artwork files created in CC2019. When opening one of these files in AI 2020, version 24.2.1 on either Mojave or Catalina, text that is set up with tracking, is point type (instead of area type) and centre aligned shows a significant movement to the right.
    As you can see from the attached .gif of the two files, there is one instance where there is no tracking applied…

  9. The name of the font & font style aren't refreshed (top bar)

    The name of the font & font style aren't refreshed (in the character box of the top bar) When I click on another text element, it keeps the name of the previous font and font style.

  10. left justifying text doesn't work

    A possible common solution to this is to check if other applications — browser extensions, screenshot/buffer managers, etc. — steal the hotkey Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L combination.

    Unfortunately, Illustrator can’t see other apps claiming hotkey at OS level, as can’t they.

  11. when highlighting text and shift + eye dropping to get text colour only

    This action produces random results (like the text has two colours on it)

  12. Selecting a font open Glyphs panel

    When I select a font or a previously selected font from the Drop Down Font menu the Glyphs tab (even though I don't have it selected or open anywhere else) it opens across my whole workspace.

  14. 24.2 Unable to use special characters: English OS, German regional settings and keyboard

    On a fresh English language Illustrator installation (English OS, German regional settings and German qwertz keyboard on Win10) I am unable to use any character that needs ALT GR as a Modifier. I therefore can not access €, @ | and a lot of pretty important letters. If that helps, Photoshop doesn't show this problem, but Indesign has similar issues. Other, non CC apps with English UI language work fine.

  15. Black versions of color fonts are no longer accessible

    EmojiOne font B&W fallback version is no longer accessible in current versions of Illustrator. This is a crying shame! I am forced to stay with AI CC2015 because I need access to the black and white version of this font. Why would Adobe take away a perfectly useful variation of a font because it is a "color" font????

  17. Creating new paragraph or character style does not honor selected text

    https://helpx.adobe.com/au/illustrator/using/character-paragraph-styles.html

    ^ That page states you can select text, and click the new paragraph or character style button to create a new style that uses the selected text as a base. This does not work at all, it just creates a new style with Myriad and default settings.

  19. Optical Kerning issue when outlining and scaling

    If you write something using optical kerning, copy it, paste in front and outline it, the outline matches up. However if you then scale both in pro, lets say 300%, then the live text no longer matches the outlined version (see attached example where the live text is in red and outlined vectors in black). This is causing us problems when scaling objects onto different panels but we are required to supply editable text. Logos etc are no longer exact scaled replicas!
    We are using CC 2019 (as our clients need files in this format).

  20. Space After Paragraph is Missing

    I'm using Illustrator 2020, v24.0.1 on a MacBook Pro using OS Mojave v10.14.6

    Not sure where it went, but in the Paragraph tool, the "Space After Paragraph" feature is simply gone. I've rebooted the program and its still missing. Need this basic standard feature back ASAP.
