Everytime creative cloud app is required to reactivate the fonts
I activated 2 new fonts from adobe fonts website and it worked well.
After that I closed Ai and next day when I opened Ai again then it's showing missing fonts and there is no way to activate them from Ai.
I have to start creative cloud app always to reactivate these fonts. This is very annoying and killing a lot of time. Also it takes ages to start creative cloud app even on fast internet connection. This also needs improvement.
Once the fonts are activated - isn't that installed locally on my machine? Why every time it needs to…3 votes -

The vertical lines that usually show up when pushing text along the path is missing. Even when using Direct Selection Tool, there are no handles to control the direction and placement of text along a path which is very frustrating.

Pasting text into existing type object creates a new object instead
In v24.3 pasting text inside a text box fails, it creates a new text box so all styles need to be re-applied.

Illustrator 24.2 tab stops not working with blank text lines
Tab stops do not function correctly when the text line has no text. We commonly use this for creating underlines. Attached examples show a text field with tab stops. The text lines with characters use the tab stops correctly (spaces do not count). Any text lines without characters cause the tab stops to be one space wide.

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)

Point Type moving when opening CC2019 AI file in AI2020
MacOs Catalina 10.15.3
CC2019 version 23.1.1
AI2020 version 24.2.1Only 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…1 vote -
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.

left justifying text doesn't work
Command +Shift+ L does not work. I checked my hot key preferences and even tried changing it and it still doesn't work.
2 votesA 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.

Text in connected Area Type Text boxes becomes very unstable when scaling
MacOs Mojave 10.14.6
What did:
Made area type square object
Copied it 13 times, connected it
put this structure under mask (tried also to put every object under it's own mask- same result).
added shape objects
Scaled everything - everything fine.
selected all the text in the structure and write new one with the same font/
Scaled it
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.
Result differs every time. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes all the letters have…

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.

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.

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????
