  1. 合成フォントを使うとaiファイルのPDFデータが空白になる

    「PDF互換ファイルを作成」をチェックONにして保存したaiファイルには「ネイティブデータ」と「PDFデータ」の2種類の異なるデータが格納されています。

    Illustrator環境設定「ファイル管理 > バックグラウンドで保存/書き出し」をONにして合成フォントを使うと、aiファイルの「PDFデータ」が空白(PDFのコンテンツストリームが空)になってしまう場合があります。なお「ネイティブデータ」は正常に保存されます。

    ●PDFデータの確認方法
    拡張子「ai」を「pdf」に変更してAcrobatで開く。拡張子「ai」のままAcrobatで開いてはいけない。
    または、InDesignドキュメントにリンク配置する。
    または、macOSならクイックルックで表示する。

    再現手順

    ●前準備
    1. Illustratorを起動
    2. 環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックONにする
    3. 合成フォントをすべて削除する
    ●再現操作
    1. 新規ドキュメントを作成
    2. 合成フォントを新規作成
    3. テキストツールで文字を入力
    4. 2の合成フォントを3に適用する
    5. ファイル保存
    6. 合成フォントの設定を変更する(ウェイト変更など)
    7. ファイル保存

    2020(24)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2021(25)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2022(26)は5の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    2023(27)は7の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    対処方法

    環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックOFFにする。ただし抑止はされるが完全に防止できるわけではない。

  2. Characters on the path disappear with command “Outline Text” in version 27.7.0 or just explode all over the canvas

    Reproduction procedures
    1. Create type on a path in document.
    2. Save the document and close it once.
    3. Open that document and select the text on a path.
    4. Execute command “Outline Text”

    The above procedure will make it all disappear and disappear.
    This phenomenon is not reproduced in Illustrator 2022 or earlier, so it seems to be a 2023-specific bug.

    再現手順
    1. ドキュメント上にパス上テキストを作成
    2. ドキュメントを保存し、いったん閉じる
    3. ドキュメントを開き、パス上テキストオブジェクトを選択
    4. アウトラインを作成

    以上の手順で、テキストはパスごと消えてなくなります。
    Illustrator2022以前では再現しなかったため、2023固有のバグと思われます。

  3. 「オーバープリントブラック...」の不具合

    OS/macOS11.6.8
    Illustrator.ver.27.7(以前のバージョンから同様の挙動と考えられます)

    スタイルの当たったテキストをCMYKの黒100でオーバーライドしたものに対して「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとCMYK黒100の部分がスタイルのカラーにフォールバックする。

    再現方法
    1.テキストフレームを用意し塗りに対して明るい色を設定した段落スタイルを適用する。
    2.任意のテキストの塗りに対してCMY各0、K100のCMYKブラックを適用する。
    3.このテキストフレームを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
    4.CMYK黒で指定した部分は塗りに対してオーバープリントが設定されるが塗りがスタイルカラーに戻る。

    期待する結果
    「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用してもスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変わらずオーバープリント属性が設定される。

    実際の結果
    「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変スタイルカラーに変わってしまう。

    回避方法
    スタイルを適用した部分を黒でオーバーライドする際はCMYKブラックではなくグレースケールのブラックを利用すると回避可能。

    また、スタイルが適用されたあとCMYKブラックをオーバーライドされた部分のあるテキストフレームをスクリプトにてoverprint属性を適用しようとした場合も同様にスタイルカラーに戻ってしまいます。

    回避方法がありますが、CMYKブラックとグレースケールブラックで挙動が異なるのは問題です。オーバープリントブラック処理は最終的に処理を行う場合が多い処理です。意図しない色変化が生じるリスクはできるだけ避けたほうが良いです。早急に改善いただきたいと思います。

  4. 警告無しに文字詰めが変化する

    ver.27において、マイナーバージョンリリース又はマイクロバージョンリリースにおいてオプティカルカーニングの仕様が度々変更されています。これ自体は改善の意味合いの強い対応で仕様変更と考えます。
    しかし、仕様変更以前のバージョンの文字組み仕様が異なるにもかかわらず、なんの警告も無しに文字組みが変化します。こういったケースではユーザーに注意を促す警告を表示するべきでしょう。

    再現手順
    1. Illustrator ver.26.5にてエリア内文字を作成し文字間のカーニングを「オプティカル」に設定し、均等配置を指定する。
    2.Illustrator2020形式で保存する。
    3.Illustrator ver.27.9で開いてTツールを用いてエリア内文字にカーソルを入れるか、テキスト自体を移動する。
    4.カーニングの状態が変化する。

    期待する結果
    カーニングが変化する際は警告を表示する。

    実際の結果
    なんの警告もなくカーニングが変化する。

    理想を言えば、既存のファイルに対して新しいカーニング値を自動的に適用せずに以前と全く同じ表示にするのが良いですが、仕様の変更自体は改善の意味合いが強く、仕方ない面もあるかと思います。しかし、編集しているユーザーが、この変化に気が付かない事によりデータトラブルを誘発する可能性もあります。
    これは2022の最終バージョンが書き出す2020形式のファイルでも起こる挙動です。影響を受けるファイルは相当数存在するはずですから、せめて警告が表示されるようにしていただきたいと思います。

  6. 均等配置したエリア内文字をポイント文字に切り換えると開始位置がずれる

    エリア内文字が均等配置で設定されている場合、ポイント文字に切り換えるとエリア内文字のエリアの半分開始位置がシフトする。

    mac0S 11.6.8 (Intel/imac27inch)
    Illustrator ver.27.9.0
    1. Tツールをドラッグしてエリア内文字を作成・入力する。
    2. 段落パネルにて1のエリア内文字に均等配置(どれでも良い)を設定
    3. 「書式→ポイント文字に切り換え」を実行。
    4. ポイント文字に変更されるが、開始位置がシフトする。

    期待する結果
    切り換えを行っても開始位置はずれない。

    実際の結果
    ポイントテキストの開始位置が大きくずれる。

    When we use Variable Concepr Fonts if I write text that contain letters with accents, the style of the typography changes. It's quite annoying.

  8. Retype does not work at all in Czech version of Illustrator CC 2024 (28.0)

    The Retype function does not work at all on Windows 10. All attempts end with the message Selection not recognized. It doesn't matter if it's a vector, a bitmap. It doesn't recognize anything. Not even Hello in Helvetica.
    On MacOS 13.4.1 the app displays possible similar fonts but you can’t select them, download them, nothing. Dead end.

    Nice work, Adobe!

  9. Slanted instances are not properly sorted

    When a variable font has ***** axis and right leaning instances (common oblique styles) the Oblique instances gets sorted before the Romans on the font menu dropdown. See attachment.

    According to the OT spec, right leaning instances must use negative values, so I‘m guessing Adobe’s font menu is sorting instances by slnt coordinates in ascending direction when it should be in the other direction.

    This is not only bad and uncommon for users but is also pushing font developers to make fonts against the spec just to circunvent this situation. Plase fix.

    Note. All the fonts tested have proper STAT…

  10. Find and Replace text results in unwanted repeated characters

    Illustrator v 28.0
    Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1

    Using the Edit > Find and Replace... function to search for and remove text results in the first character after the removed text to be repeated. For example:

    Old text: Lorem Singapore / Lorem Hong Kong / Lorem Australia
    Find "Lorem " and replace with nothing
    Result: SSingapore / HHong Kong / AAustralia

  11. Words get broken when hyphenation is off with no hyphens

    Illustrator (since a long ago) has a habit of breaking words in area type texts when it should not. Take a look at the test file and watch the attached GIF.

    As you can see, the second word is a long one, and Ai for some reason breaks it — although Hyphenate is off (and the language is properly chosen).

    No hyphen also is displayed at the end of the line, the word is just split.

    If we toggle the Composer from Single-Line to Every-Line, Ai at first correct the tracking and fits the word... but once the container is…

  12. Pressing Backspace in text gets recorded in History as a chain of separate Clear steps

    When we type a text, Ai treats it as one operation, all the time.

    Even when we press Enter, the flow is considered to be uninterrupted — and there a bug report about this:
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47038321
    Even if an automatic conversion of bullets happen, Ai still thinks it’s not worth undoing — and there is a bug report about this as well: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46954429

    But for some reason when I hold Backspace to delete a bunch of text, Ai records each deleted symbol as a separate step, despite the fact it’s treated by users as a one operation, eating up the history…

  14. Enter while typing does not get recorded in history as an Undo step

    When I type a text in Illustrator and hit Enter to make a paragraph break, it does not get recorded into the history as an operation I can undo. This means all typed paragraphs get clumped in history together and get undone as a whole.

    This is not how many other apps do, including InDesign and Word.

    Some apps also consider line breaks as an interruption of flow, which would have been handy too.

    It is quite similar to this report:
    Illustrator does not treat the auto bullets as a separate Undo step

    and is related to this one:…

  15. Type on path positioning is now quantized and not smooth

    Take a look at the GIF.

    In Illustrator 2022 users were able to position start and end marker brackets with practically infinite precision, smoothly, even for a long, single-bezier path.

    In 2023 these markers are quantized to 0.005 increments! For a long, single-bezier path, this creates laughably large steps (like, almost the width of an entire glyph).
    Note that the quantization is per bezier segment, so if you put text on a path that has many anchor points, it won't be as noticeable. But adding loads of points to a path makes it much less editable later, of course, so…

  16. Font menu blank

    Drop down font menu has stopped working in all illustrator docs.

    Turned all fonts on / off in Creative Cloud, no change, it's also showing all fonts are installed on the CC app.
    Creative Cloud is working fine
    Illustrator is up to date (28.0)
    Internet connection is fine.

  17. Bullets are forced when pasting a text

    Please take a look at the GIF.
    I paste a text (using Paste without formatting) into a mixed selection, made with Select All command. The text has both bulleted and non-bulleted paragraphs.
    I expect it to NOT have bullets enabled, since the first paragraph in the selection does not have it.
    Instead, Illustrator forces bullets for the whole pasted text.

  18. Font Height settings not working with all-small-cap typefaces

    1. Working in MacOS 13.5.2

    2. Illustrator 27.8.1

    3. When setting type in a Area Type box, the default Font Height is snapping to the x-height of the text, but only when using fonts with small-cap style lowercase letterforms, rather than typical lowercase forms. When using a font with typical lowercase, the Font Height of the box is defaulting to the height of uppercase letters, as expected.

    This behavior is happening to fonts installed locally on my system, as well as those activated though Adobe Fonts.

    Selecting various settings for the Font Height option in the Character panel does not alter this behavior,…

  19. Changing text case switches hyphenation on ( from off )

    Switching the text case from one case to another turns hyphenation on if it was previously set to off.

    I believe this is a new bug in v 27.9. ( today's date is Oct 5 ,2023 for the record )

    This is especially bad becuase users have been asking for hyphenation to be OFF by default. Asking for years and years. 5+ years I think.

  20. PDF live text strings are broken into individual character groups

    Operating system: Windows 10
    Version: Illustrator 28

    When importing PDF files into Illustrator, some live text strings are broken up into individual characters inside group layers.

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