Files change type position/spacing when opening file saved in older versions of illustrator
Files opened in 23.1.1 saved in recent previous versions of illustrator change spacing, position and kerning.
I am working in 23.1.1 and the files in question were saved in a recent previous version. What happens is only certain fonts (all open type format in document) jump position by as much as 1 point. this has been confirmed on multiple machines running new version (23.1.1)
It appears that kerning/spacing/tracking gets altered. The attached file shows the comparison between new version and old version. green highlights show amount of distance of shifting.

Text element with multiple paragraph styles & colors turns white when adding used colors
I have a text element with two paragraphs and have assigned a style to each paragraph. One paragraph style is a different color, for emphasis.
When I go to Swatches (palette) > Add Used Colors, all of the text turns white (invisible against a white artboard) and a swatch named "K=0" is added to the swatches palette. This can be avoided by setting all Paragraph Styles to black or no color and using Character Styles to apply color, but that's not really how the styles are supposed to work.
If the paragraph and character styles ever are fully functional in…

When a document using Japanese TrueType font is opened in different OS environment, font warning is given
When Japanese TrueType font is used in a document and opened in different OS environment,
Even though you have installed the same font, you will get a font warning when you open it.
Screenshots are created on Windows and open on macOS. But the opposite is also true.- Create a file in Windows environment and save it using related fonts
- When 1 is opened in macOS environment, the corresponding font is displayed as a font problem.
- Open Font Search after opening has not caused any problems
There are three types of fonts used, but problems occur with Japanese fonts or…

Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB
Illustrator 23.1.1
Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works.
Decrease font shortcut DOES still work. Super annoying.
EDIT: I just realised if you press the decimal point on the number pad it works. The wrong "." seems to have been assigned the shortcut.

Discretionary hyphens do not seem to work
I can’t get discretionary hyphens to work in Illustrator CC 23.0.2, either by Shift-command -- or with Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens and Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen. Whether Hyphenate is turned on or off for the paragraph does not matter. Language does not seem to make a difference either.
Only the hyphens added by Illustrator itself are obeyed.16 votes -
Font Sample Halt
I'm frustrated that as I run down my list of fonts testing them on a specimen of type that the font scroll halts for no apparent reason, forcing me to use the down arrow and manually select the font I want to try the specimen on.

Text will not change fill colour to what has been selected
WIndows 10, Illustrator 23.0.3: After selecting text, I try to change the fill colour either using the eyedropper tool or the swatches panel. I expect the text to change to that colour. However, while the colour window shows the colour has been changed, the text doesn't actually change colour. I have to outline the text in order to get it to change colour.
8 votesHi Melina ,
Thanks for reporting this issue, Illustrator team really appreciate this.
As per attached screen shot , for the selected Text object your fill is below the Characters in appearance panel.
Can you kindly move the Fill above the characters and change fill. This will hopefully resolve your problem.
In order to identify the root cause , can you kindly provide us eyedropper setting snapshot ,you can find eyedropper settings by double click on eyedropper tool .Thanks

When I type something, the character panel does not show any fonts as an option. I have tried the dropdown menu to no avail. I found a work around a couple days ago but cannot remember what it was!

Unable to skew individual words/letters in type
In previous versions of illustrator, you were able to skew individual words/letters from the character menu. That option has been replaced by an option to rotate.
Distorting highlighted text distorts the whole box of type. The font I'm working with does not have and italics and I need this option to italicize specific words.
I am using 23.0.6 on a mac with OS Mojave 10.14.6.
I'm attaching screenshots of this feature in InDesign so you can see what this used to look like in illustrator, as well as a screenshot of the new character panel in illustrator where it's missing.…

You can undo any operation before and after but creation of Character/paragraph style does not get into "undo" list. You have to delete it manually from styles list.Select text\paragraph, make Character/paragraph style. Selected text/paragraph is not set instantly to this newly created style but it should.

Type tool not working properly
Running Windows 10 and Ai version 24.0.2
Trying to hit a return between words in a text sentence, neither the backspace or delete or enter work. No it's not a keyboard issue, since it works with any other program without a problem. This bug is also happening to several machines in the work place consistently. We need to close the whole application so it responds to this text command issue, but after having the document open for a little time it does it again.
I expect to be able to edit my text... this is a big one...1 vote -
Justification doesn't work right
In a block of justified text, when you fine tune the justification settings to spread the letters more evenly and avoid white gaps, the justification gets broken.
(In Indesign the same procedure works perfectly.)On my screenshot you see the default setting on the left, and on the right with the letter and glyph spacing set to slightly decreased minimum and slightly increased maximum values – and the justification is gone…
