1. Thin space and hair space have wrong widths

   In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
   In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
   6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
   10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
   20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
   40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
   in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1pt

   In Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
   In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.

   Indesign seams to do it the right way.
   Illustrator is buggy in both cases.

4. Variable Fonts with a Width axis don’t work in Illustrator unless the "space" glyph changes width

   Operating system:
   macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81)

   The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
   Adobe Illustrator 2024 (28.2)

   The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
   I created a variable font with a width axis. The font works well in environments like web browsers, but the variable axis slider has no effect in Illustrator. This also affects variable fonts with a Width axis and other axes – none of the shaping changes of any axes are rendered in Illustrator.

   After some debugging and experimentation, I finally learned that the "space" glyph must change in its character width, and only then will Illustrator actually apply variable shaping changes.

   This is a problem for at least three reasons:
   1. Variable fonts are a useful way to prototype logos or wordmarks, and in such fonts, designers may not think to adjust the "space" glyph for width changes, because the character isn’t relevant to a logo design.
   2. Designers often prototype fonts with a few glyphs, and want to test results early in Illustrator. If they haven’t adjusted the "space" glyph yet, the font will appear to be broken, when it is in fact an Illustrator bug.
   3. It should be possible to make a variable font with a Width axis which affects some glyphs, but not necessarily the "space" glyph. It would be unusual, but it there is no reason it shouldn’t be a possibility.

   I’m happy to share test font files, but this forum doesn’t allow me to upload .ttf or .zip files.

   Your expected result and the actual result:
   • I expect variable axes to have an effect in variable fonts in Illustrator, especially when those fonts work elsewhere.
   • Illustrator doesn’t apply variable axis changes if the "space" glyph doesn’t change along the Width axis, if the Width axis is included.

   Upload your Illustrator file or a video (screen recording or gif, this helps us most to reproduce the issue and resolve it)

5. Turning off hinting does nothing.

   I have a font with poor hinting where the alignment of several letters isn't working properly. When I select 'none' from the drop-down menu for hinting in the character panel, nothing changes. In previous versions of Illustrator, this is used to treat the letters as standard vectors.

6. Create text larger than 12pt when zoomed out! (Plus wacom type tool error)

   When I'm putting together a HD storyboard, i.e zoomed out to view a range of 1920x1020 artboards, clicking on the document with the text tool just makes a tiny cross symbol and doesn't allow me to type.

   NOTE - Wacom tablet seems to create the cross. Laptop track pad does create text but at 12pt which is crazy small to edit when zoomed out.

   It would be great if Illustrator acknowledged my zoom level and didn't default to giving me text so small that I can't highlight it or easily edit. Constantly zooming in and out every time I want to annotate or use text is a really inefficient workflow. I feel like this didn't used to be an issue.

   (On a 4k XPS15 display)

   Thanks!

8. Text on a path doesn't display or export properly

   I am working in Illustrator 2024 on my work laptop running Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise (I've had this same issue in illustrator 2023).

   I am able to type on a path, but then usually once I exit the file and then re-open it the text is no longer visible. I can locate the text in the layers panel which has been my work around. I'll find the text in the layers panel, target it, cut, and then paste in place. This will make the type visible again.

   Sometimes the text will be visible when I'm getting ready to export, or create a link for review, and then it doesn't show up in the export or the review link. I then have to delete that export or link, go back into the file, target the text in the layers panel (even if it's visible), cut and paste in place to "reset," and then it will usually export properly.

   There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when this happens.

       ③ 読み込んだ段落スタイルを適用したテキストオブジェクトを作成し，保存する。
       ④ ③のドキュメントを再度開く。

    3. 望む結果：　　①で設定した文字の色が，段落スタイルの「文字カラー」に設定されている。

    4. 実際の結果：　　段落スタイルの「文字カラー」は「なし」になっている。

13. Bug with the ' touch on AZERTY keyboard on AI 2024

    Hi ! I recently came upon a but while typing text with a French AZERTY keyboard. Indeed touching the ' (apostrophe) symbol instead writes a < or > when entered. I thought at first it was a font problem, but after trying a few different ones wondered if if wasn't a keyboard language problem, but then i tried on AI 2023 and had no problem typing my text correctly.

14. Leading (line spacing) not shown, blank, in Character panel

    OS:
    Various Mac OS versions and hardware, including M2 Mac Studio and M3 MacBook Pro. Confirmed in screenshots on:
    Mac Sonoma 14.1
    Apple M3 Pro
    36GB of RAM

    ILLUSTRATOR VERSION:
    Various versions. Confirmed on Adobe Illustrator 2024 v28.0 (used for screenshots). This happens across computers and OS and Illustrator versions.

    STEPS TAKEN:
    Opened file and clicked on text.

    EXPECTED RESULTS:
    Selecting text should show leading in Character Panel.

    ACTUAL RESULTS:
    Leading field is blank in Character Panel.

    Leading (line spacing) is sometimes not shown in the Character Panel. The field is blank. This can occur when selecting many characters, which might be expected if different characters in the selection have different leading.

    BUT this also happens when a single character is selected, or the cursor is between characters (screenshots attached), in which case, only one leading value is possible (or should be).

    Undefined leading is a serious problem, and makes matching or checking leading very difficult in a production environment.

    OS:

16. Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjusted

    This issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it.

    This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023.

    If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character palette does reflect the changes being made.

    Steps taken: use keyboard keys to tighten kerning between two letters, when the text is close to the edges of its containing text box, also while moving said text box using keyboard arrow keys

    Expected result: Kerning visible tightens, text box moves as-is
    Actual result: The single line of text temporarily breaks into a two-line format while performing the action, then returns to single line

    I've also noticed this happens when the text box is selected and being moved via the arrow keys. A community expert has said it can happen clicking the font family in the character tools and other items that shouldn't affect them.

    Things that have not solved it:
    - Resetting preferences
    - Changing kerning from Auto to Optical, etc.
    - Changing Paragraph options from Adobe Single-Line Composer to Adobe Every-Line Composer, or vice versa (this can temporarily solve it for a few hours, then doesn't work again)

    For info on what has been tried and discussed on the community forum:

    The same text strings are not broken if the PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
