Illustrator 29.1 Can't Import AI Files From Other Apps
I posted something about this in the Illustrator user forums earlier today. I've been dealing with a bug present in the Illustrator 29.1 update that was pushed to users this morning. This new version cannot open AI files exported by rival graphics applications if the AI file contains any live text objects. If the artwork is all raw vectors, even with complex fills, it opens fine. Any live text makes it a no-go.
When attempting to open the AI file containing text objects this message is displayed:
"Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file…2 votes -
Font changes from the current one to the previously used while typing
I'm working on a document in which I used Avenir font, but for the most I use Myriad Pro. When I click with the Type tool I see in the character box I'm with the default font (Myriad Pro) and start typing. Then noticed I'm now in Avenir font!
This bug is brand new with the latest update (29.1), I didn't add any issue of that type before.
I'm on Windows 11 PC Core i7-13700 32 Go of RAM-

Text wraps differently in Illustrator 2025 compared to previous version
Encountered a very frustrating bug after updating to Illustrator 2025 today and opening an existing file. It turns out that text within type areas wraps slightly differently in this new version, causing overflow errors in several places throughout the document.
The file I discovered this in was created yesterday in Illustrator 28.5.
Interestingly, when I hover the affected text area, the blue preview rendering shows the old, expected wrapping. There is no way to get it back in the actual, rendered text, though.
Zero changes have been made to this file since yesterday—only the Illustrator version has changed. I checked…

Add Discretionary Line Break
Each time I need to insert a discretionary line break in Illustrator, I forget there is none. I go through menus, hoping to finally see it, but nope, it’s something InDesign has only.
Please make one.

Illustrator breaks lines of Latin area type text without hyphens at arbitrary positions
It is truly a disaster. Working with packaging in different languages, I experience this problem very often. I am forced to format the text in indesign, convert it to paths and paste it into Illustrator...
Here a sample file: it seems this issue affects especially Cyrillic, but only in certain fonts.
Indesign handles it correctly.
To avoid this, I've made a script that assign the "no break" attribute to every word in a selected paragraph.1 voteThe font team informs, the font used is a Japanese font, developed by Coji Morishita. Even though it has Latin and Cyrillic glyphs in it, it’s displayed in the Japanese section in the font list, and has a preview rendered in Japanese (when no text is selected and 'Show Font Names in English' is disabled in Preferences > Type.
CJK fonts, such as this one, allow to break one character per word, and this extends to Cyrillic glyphs these might have, even with the correct language is picked in Character panel.
The team is considering to treat Cyrillic like non-CJK when the CJK font's Cyrillic is not full-width, but currently sees it as a narrow case.

箇条書きテキストの不透明度が勝手に変わる
箇条書きを適用したテキストを含むファイルを保存後再度開くと、箇条書きテキストの不透明度が、初期設定から「不透明度:80%、合成モード:乗算」に変わっています。
全てのデータで起こるわけではありませんが、一度この現象が起こると何度不透明度設定を元に戻して保存しても、次に開くとまた変わります。
コピーしたファイルも同様です。
既出、解決済みの問題でしたらすみません。使用しているバージョンは28.5です。

Text Not Displaying in Adobe Illustrator 28.6 (64-bit)
Description of the Issue: In Adobe Illustrator 28.6 (64-bit) on Windows 11, the designs load properly when opening files, but the text does not display.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Adobe Illustrator.
Load any file that contains text elements.
Notice that while the design loads correctly, the text is not visible—only its shadows are displayed.
Expected Behavior: The text should load and be visible along with the rest of…1 vote -

Smart Quotes not working properly
If deselected “Smart Quotes (“‘)“ , upon keying in a prime (') or double prime (") AI still convert the primes to quotes. My work needs to communicate dimensions (eg, 5'–6" × 2'–0") and with First Nation orthographies Mi'kmaw First Nation that require access to these standard characters. This needs to be fixed.
1 voteThis got solved by disabling 'Use Typographer’s Quotes' option in Document Setup > Type.

Pasting text within text box changes formatting to neighboring type
I am trying to cut and paste type within an area type box. I have the type formatted with mixed attributes. But when I paste the type in its new location all formatting is lost and it assumes the format of the type next to where I paste it.
1 voteThis can happen if the 'Paste text without formatting' option is toggled in Preferences > Clipboard Handling. This would cause Ai to paste text with no formatting, adapting it from the target text.

Threaded text area box disappears after saving
MacOS Ventura 13.7
Illustrator 28.6 and newerWhen I convert a document to curves, save a copy, and then press Undo so I can have the text boxes editable again. As soon as I press Save after doing this, the second text frame in a thumbnail in Finder vanishes, while still existing in the document.
4 votesAccording to the team, this is expected to be fixed in the upcoming November Beta and Prerelease builds. Once it’s verified to be fixed, it will get pushed into the next main build.

Accented characters in PDF not showing correctly
Imported PDF text has spurious spaces (and broken into different text blocks). In the source program the only difference is whether RTF is encoded using charset-encoding in the current code page (OK) or using unicode reference (like this). In PDF readers looks correct either way.

Contextual alternates don’t work for Cyrillic letters with Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers
While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.
Take a look at the GIF attached.

Glyph substitution not working in v28.7.1
In v28.7.1, if the formatting of the character immediately before a glyph substitution is different, the glyph substitution does not work, and the default glyph is displayed instead. This bug occurs just by opening an ai file from a previous version. It's an extremely serious bug.

Text stroke disappears
Illustrator 28.6 on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2
I'm not sure whether it's an Illustrator or Photoshop problem.
I have text with white strokes in the background, but when I open the .ai in Photoshop (300dpi) , the white outlines have all disappeared.
They don't appear in the Art View (preview) of the .ai either. Nor if I open the file with Preview or Adobe Acrobat. That's why I'm thinking it's an Illustrator issue. Zooming in with Acrobat actually makes it crash…
I have attached screenshots of my Illustrator artboard (you can see the white strokes), of the JPG I generated…
