  1. New text set to wrong language

    Everytime I create a new text using the text tool, the language for the text is set to "English: EUA", but both my Illustrator settings and my document settings are set to "Portuguese: Brazil".

    I don't believe that there is a THIRD place where I need to configure this, so I imagine that it's a bug. Also, my Illustrator it's updated, but I've been experiencing this for a while.

  2. Random movement in text layers

    After saving and exiting Illustrator (26.0.1) on Mac OS Monterey (happened on Big Sur as well) when I open the file later the text layer have moved randomly. While not a repeatable bug, it does happen more than 50% of the time.

  4. Type jumbles up in text box. Maybe because I installed Hebrew/Arabic capability?

    When I create a type box and either type in it or copy-paste from a text editor (BB Edit, which provides really clean type), the type jumbles up together without word breaks. Sometimes it ends up overwriting type that's already there and sometimes the type ends up occupying a single line, even though it may be many lines of type.

    I've had a number of type problems of various sorts since installing Hebrew/Arabic type capability several months ago.

  7. Corrupt rendering of font Aktiv Grotesk Condensed Light

    Our font Aktiv Grotesk Condensed Light has weird rendering artifacts in the glyphs "C", "b" and "p", but only on macOS 11.5.1 and Illustrator 25.4.1 (InDesign on the same platform is fine; on Windows, both are fine). See screenshot. Can't attach the font here so I'm sending it to Josh Hadley at Adobe.

  8. Cambio de color en fuentes de color.

    Diseñe una tipografía de color con Fontself con una paleta especifica y al instalarla en Illustrator no respeta los colores establecidos, solo cuando se agranda o se achica la caja de texto se pueden ver los colores reales, pero al soltar la caja como que los desatura y quedan así. Adjunto un video para que se entienda mejor. ¿Hay algún tipo de solución? Desde ya muchas gracias!

    I receive machine layouts created in AutoCad & saved as PDF. When i open them in Illustrator for corrections font appears as boxes. I have been managing so far by opening the PDF in CS3 & resaving.

  10. Eyedropper applies colour to whole text in Text Area

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    When I try to apply a text style to my selection using the eyedropper, it applies the colour to the whole text area (not just the selected text).

    In the vid: all the text becomes blue.

  12. Coloured Fonts: Copied text unintentionally becomes path objects

    In AI 25.3.1 (macOS 10.14.6), when I copy a text written in a coloured font in the same document or in another document, then immediately or after a few copy-paste actions the editable text unintentionally becomes a path object. Example with the coloured font "Gilbert" attached.

  13. Second line of type (point and area) is picking up the style of the first line when pasting plain text

    New to 25.3.1 update, MacOS 11.4. When there are two lines in a point or area type object separated by a return, selecting the entire second line (formatted differently from the first line) and pasting in plain text (copied from a Finder filename) is now picking up the formatting from the first line instead of retaining the formatting from the existing line, as if there were an invisible return character from the first line, or as if it were a continuation of the first line. This is contrary to AI behavior since forever.

  14. 日本語入力時に英数キーで確定されます

    macOS Hi Sierra/Catalina/Big Sur
    Adobe Illustrator CC2017〜2021(それ以前の可能性も有)

    Macには独自の日本語テキスト入力のシステムがあります。
    入力した文字を確定する前に「英数キー」を2度連打すると
    半角アルファベットに変換されます。
    「かなキー」を2度連打すると再変換することができます。

    CS5までのIllustratorとすべてのPhotoshopではこのシステムが有効です。
    しかし、IllustratorCCでは「英数キー」「かなキー」での
    変換ができません。
    日本語を入力中に「英数キー」を押すと変換されず確定されます。

    私はMacOS X10.3から長くこのシステムに慣れているので
    現在のIllustratorの仕様は誤入力につながり不便です。

  15. Auto Spell Check not working when ai file is converted to newer version

    I noticed when an older .ai file version (ex. CS4) is converted to a newer version (illustrator 2020) the auto spell check will not work on text and text boxes. The only way I found to fix this is draw a new text box and copy the text from the old box to the new one.

  17. area text corrupted on transfer from Mac to Windows

    When an ai document containing area text is saved in CC2020 or 2021 on Mac, and that document is then opened in CC2020 or 2021 on Windows, the area text gets broken (ie it's no longer a single run of text). We are having to save as legacy and stick to 2019 on Windows to get around it.
    The same problem may apply from Windows to Mac, but I haven't checked it.

  19. CFF font outline rendering issue

    I have received a font quality complaint which seems to be related to Adobe Illustrator 2021. It does not occur in versions 2019 and 2020. In the app viewport, some outlines have kinks which are not part of vector outlines (image 1). When converted to outlines, the paths are clean, however the bump is still being rendered (image 2). In a png output file the bump is not present either (image 3). It seems to be a viewport rasterizer failure rather than font flaw. Please let me know if any additional information is required. I might not be able to…
