1. Tabs window not available in 30.1

   Mac OS Tahoe, AI desktop version 30.1 <-- updated yesterday 12/22/25
   Creating new area text (paragraph text) which requires tab structure, first thing, the shift+command shortcut no longer works. So I can't indicate in a screen grab what doesn't show up. It is also greyed-out within the Top Window Menu>Type>Tabs

3. All options within Window > Type are greyed out when 'Enable Wacom' option is enabled

   Running Illustrator 2026 (version 30.0) on a M4 Pro Mac Mini. Access to all Type options are greyed out (accessed via Window > Type). I noticed that, in the preferences, under Devices, there was an 'Enable Wacom' option, which was checked. (I don't have a Wacom tablet, though I do have an XP-Pen drawing display, though it was not plugged in, and all drivers and extensions were disabled, and I've only used it with Illustrator 2025.) However, I unchecked the option, restarted Illustrator, and all text options were available again.

4. Spell check error - changes language to Bulgarian

   Spell Check starts in English for the first few then always changes to Bulgarian! This renders spell check absolutely useless, unless I happen to type in Bulgarian... which I haven't had the need to so far.

6. Variable Google Fonts reset to minimum weight on file open in Illustrator

   Issue Description:

   When opening files in Adobe Illustrator, the program incorrectly handles Google Fonts variable families that use floating weight values (variable wght axis). All text elements that were assigned specific weight values (e.g., 400, 500, 600) are automatically reset to the minimum weight value after reopening the file. As a result, all text switches to the thinnest available style in the variable font.

   Expected Behavior:

   Illustrator should correctly save and restore the numeric values of variable font axes (in this case, the wght axis) and display text exactly with the weight settings assigned before saving.

   Actual Behavior:

   After reopening the document, all text objects using Google variable fonts lose their assigned weight values and revert to the lowest/minimal value of the wght axis. Visually this appears as if all text changes to the “thin” style of the family.
   This breaks the typographic hierarchy and causes layout shifts, making the file unusable without manual correction.

   Steps to Reproduce:

   • Latest Illustrator release (Windows).
   • Use any Google Fonts variable family (e.g., with a wght axis).
   • Assign different weight values within the same variable family to text objects.
   • Save the file, close it, then reopen it.
   • All weights revert to the minimum value.

   Impact:

   The design opens with damaged typography. All weight settings must be restored manually, which is time-consuming and may cause inconsistencies or visual artifacts.

   Issue Description:

8. Problem with Eyedropper tool on text

   Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8

   When I try to use the Eyedropper tool on a text, it only samples the object's top Appearance, not the text's at Character level.

   In the sample video, the characters should become grey, with the text object having a white outline behind. But you can see it only picks up the white outline and not the character colour.

   My Eyedropper tool is set to pick up everything (all boxes are ticked).

9. HEX Franklin Variable Font is Not Visible when Editing

   I am on a Mac running Illustrator 29.4. I am trying to use the variable OTF version of HEX Franklin, and all Adobe apps do not render the letterforms. When I try to select the variable font in the dropdown, it just defaults back to Myriad or the default typeface.

   Other variable fonts work as intended, but specifically, this one is broken. Any possible fix?

11. Threaded Type not scaling correctly

    Mac Pro (2019, Intel), MacOS 15.6.1, Illustrator 29.7.1

    After the update to version 29.7.1, the text in linked type objects does not scale (using the Scale tool) or scales disproportionately (using the Selection tool).

    The Free Transform Tool currently appears to be the only way to scale these objects together while keeping the type size proportional to the objects being scaled.

    The issue occurs in new and existing documents.

    See thread here for more details: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/type-not-scaling-correctly-in-linked-type-objects/m-p/15492486

14. Uniwidth/multiplexed fonts extends in Illustrator

    A font of mine is uniwidth/duplexed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniwidth_typeface) and keeps its width in InDesign and ABC Dinamo’s Font Gauntlet when changing the weight of the VAR.ttf.

    In Illustrator however, the text ‘extends’ when adding weight. Visualized: The last letter on a line is standing further right than before. The other way around it also contracts when lowering the weight, obviously.

    I went on and found the same behavior in other VAR fonts (right in InDesign, wrong in Illustrator), but also ones that don’t have the issue. My Illustrator version is up to date, and the bug was also in the previous version.

    Please have a look at that, type designers make uniwidth fonts exactly for the reason that they KEEP their width when changing its weight.

    Thank you.

15. Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list

    This is a 2 part issue:

    1. If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
       Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.

    2. A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in to the mask and outlining type.
       When the printer opened the file, it said it still had live type, however, when I opened the file and checked the find/replace fonts panel, even thought there was live text still within a transparency layer that I had missed, the document said there were no live fonts, see attached image!

16. 一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されない

    macOS Tahoe 26.0 / Macbook Pro Late 2023
    Illustrator 29.8.1

    添付画像のとおり、一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されません。
    他のAdobeアプリ(Photoshop等)では正常に表示されますが、Illustratorだけがダメです。
    また、同じフォントでもウエイトによって表示される文字と表示されない文字が混在している様です。

    さらに、フォントパネル上ではフォント名が表示されていますが「フォントの検索と置換」のドキュメント内のフォント名が文字化けしています。

    Illustrator 28.7.9では正常に表示されている様なので、OS依存のバグではなさそうです。

17. 表示用に埋込んだ日本語OTFが表示されない

    macOS14.7.2/27inch iMac/i5/32GB/1TB
    Illustrator ver.29.3

    1.新規ドキュメントを開き任意のテキストを入力し日本語OTFフォントを指定する。
    2.「ファイルプレビュー用に許可されたフォントを埋め込む」チェックボックスをONにして保存して閉じる。
    3.指定したフォントをアンインストールする。

    実際の結果

    いくつか検証しましたが、WesternフォントやCJKであってもTrueTypeであればプレビュー表示されます。AdobeFontに含まれる日本語フォントやモリサワのOTF等がドキュメントに含められているにも関わらず表示に利用されません。
    フォントのファミリー名やスタイル名の処理に問題があるように思います。

    Translated:
    Steps to reproduce
    1. Open a new document, enter any text, and specify a Japanese OTF font.
    2. Check the "Embed permitted fonts for file preview" checkbox, save, and close.
    3. Uninstall the specified font.
    4. Open the previous document in Illustrator.
    5. The font embedded for preview is not used for display.

    Expected result
    The original appearance is displayed using the embedded font.

    Actual result
    The encoded font is saved in the "Embedded Font Binary Data" included in the document's Dictionary, but is not used when the document is opened.

    I tested several things, and even if it is a Western font or CJK, it will be displayed in the preview if it is TrueType. Japanese fonts included in AdobeFont and Morisawa OTF, etc. are not used for display even though they are included in the document.
    There seems to be a problem with the processing of the font family name and style name.

18. Illustrator crashes when I double-click a text to edit

    These are awful. You are awful. The program has closed 10 times. The reason is I don't want to double-click a text and edit it. I can't get it to work. You're screwed for the program. Every time I double-click a text and try to edit something, the program closes. The world's highest-earning software is a worthless software team.

20. Crashes immediately when adding a leader before a "tate-chu-yoko" text in vertical orientation

    Guaranteed immediate crashing upon adding a leader in the Tabs panel to a tabbed gap right before a character that's set as tate-chu-yoko.
    Now I have to use bad workarounds just to circumvent this...
    Hope it gets fixed soon.
