Text style in a mess when editing text. They appear ok in Preview mode. I can't complete the task or job.
I am trying to edit this text in illustrator 29.7.1. Each time a type, make an amendment to the existing text it scrambles all of the settings and messes everything up (please see screenshots of before and after). I've tried to output to PDF but this also displays in a mess. Please let me know if there is a fix so I don't have to abandon this job and start again. Thanks, D

When a justified area type with a short line gets converted into a point type, text shifts
Why this justified text suddenly jumps into the middle of the area type’s bounds when converted into a point type? Not new at all, happens in CC2017 at least. It should stay where it was. If I change it to be just left-aligned, it works as expected.

Fonts used previously won’t load and miss in the document
Many of the fonts aren't opening properly on the working files from the previous version of IIllustrator. It appears as I have no these fonts, but I sure had yesterday in 2024 version, so it's there :d

Character Panel Type, Leading and Scaling sizes have extra added decimals
Ai 2025 v29.5 / Mac Sequoia 15.6 / M1 Macbook Pro / 32GB RAM - but happening on other macs with different configurations as well but same Ai version.
We're noticing extra decimals are being added as shown in the attached screenshot. Despite choosing sizes from the drop-downs and then saving the file, the decimals return. I see a few others have posted about this previously but I haven't seen any resolution posts. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.1 vote -
Bug: Typing a "+" to begin a point text object and then following it with a space will break the point text object.
Typing a "+" to begin a point text object and then following it with a space will break the point text object. I have replicated on a completely separate machine with a different user. This is a bad bug for people trying to put a telephone number with a country code into a layout.
System info:
• Illustrator 29.6
• MacBook Pro M4
• 48 GB RAM
• macOS Sequoia 15.5.
Steps to repeat:
1. Create a new point text object
2. Type in "+ 123456789" (plus followed by a space followed by 123456789)
Observed behaviour:

I think its a Paragraph Style bug thats affecting the latest version of Illustrator 2025 version 29.7.1
I recently updated to version 29.7.1 of Illustrator 2025. All of a sudden my template file started crashed Illustrator at startup. The file opens in Illustrator 2024 - but not 2025. Troubleshooting the file - slowly deleting bits and pieces from the template file I managed to discover that the bit that was crashing Illustrator 2025 was a single block of text. The block of text has a Paragraph style in it and I think it might be this which is causing the crash (or it could be something else? Fonts). I've isolated the block and pasted it into the…

Illustrator wrongly says texts were created in different version of Illustrator
After the update, this message now appears, saying that my files were created in a different version. But it should be backwards compatible.

Font switches to default and back while navigating string with arrows
It's a bit hard to explain in words, so please watch the screencast I recorded. To put it simply: if a text block has a font other than the default (Myriad), and you want to navigate the text using the arrow keys, each time you click the button, the font in the panels changes to the default font and then back. The new letters have the correct font, although this does impact performance, especially for large texts.

Missing fonts warning when no fonts are missing
Every time I open any illustrator document, the missing fonts box shows up telling me all of the fonts are missing, but when I click replace fonts, they don't show as missing any more and there's no issue. This is a really annoying bug.

Greek text now keep accents with All Caps and is not consistent with UPPERCASE result
This has to do with the new update where all files previously created using Greek language using CAPS now all have accents. Now every time we need to change the language to Greek for accents to disappear. I'm sure this will be an issue for greeks around the world.

Unavailable fonts in Illustrator vs Acrobat Reader
When I open a document with a missing font, Illustrator keeps displaying the correct font. However, when I open the same document without any changes in Acrobat Reader, the font changes to the default font. Is this normal? Or do I have to worry about converting to curves first?

Quit making fonts unavailable (Neuropol)
Almost every time that I open my menus and logos the fonts that I use are no longer available. I used the same Neuropol font for my menus and logos for 14 years before going to the cloud-based software. Since going to cloud based software I have had to resolve the missing Neuropol font to a slightly different variation at least 4 or 5 times. Not only is it annoying and time consuming, it is causing inconsistencies in my brand, and with this current update, it does not work at all.
