Why the the FONT i used are NOT LONGER AVALIABLE in Adobe premiere pro?
Hi Adobe community, a few weeks ago I updated a new Adobe Premiere version and since then the font I was using has changed and I can no longer find it among those available. The fonts I need are: Algerian, BlackadderlITC-Regual, Garamond-Italic, Onyx. I try to find these fonts as if they were extensions from the official Adobe page but I couldn't find the Algerian font in this way either... Can anyone help me or give me advice? Thanks a lot!

Cursor/mouse glitching/flickering when moving around artboard/objects
Any time I go to make an edit, add an element, move an object, or move my cursor around over my content/artboard my cursor glitches and rapidly switches between tool symbols. I am still able to use illustrator and each tool performs how its supposed to however the cursor glitching is troubling when making adjustments/resizing things. I have restarted my computer and quit the application as well and nothing seems to work. I am using Illustrator 2025.

Fonts not loading Illustrator 24 v28.6
Running Windows 10, Illustrator 24 v 28.6
I have been trying to upload fonts today... all day on 7 fonts! I have uploaded, installed, removed, updated, rebooted, and reinstalled and rebooted again trying to get the fonts to load.
Of the 7 fonts I needed to install, 6 have uploaded properly. The final one, Bebas, has refused to be recognized. See attached photos. It shows that it is uploaded, installed and even gives an error showing there are duplicates, but the installed font will not open in illustrator 24 v28.6

Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select its clipping mask specifically
Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.
- Draw a shape.
- Select it and turn on Draw Inside.
- Draw some shapes inside it.
- Exit Draw Inside, then select the clipping group with the Selection tool.
- Draw Inside won't work any more.
- Switch to the Direct Selection tool and select the clipping mask — Draw Inside works.
The other case is Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49064681

Clipping mask doesn't work correctly
Working is going slow even if on M1 pro MacBook.
And many other bugs...I think Adobe should leave to target end user/ ai works like express etc. and focus on creative people.
All the best...

Dimension die but don’t get expanded when pasted along with the objects with Paste Remembers Layers enabled into a different document
I have a floor plan.
Some of the objects I have there have live dimensions attached.
I need to copy them all from an older revision of the file into a newer one.- I select objects and their dimensions together
- I enable Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel’s flyout menu
- I copy them
- I open the different document and run Edit > Paste in Place command
It all looks fine... Objects get pasted where expected: dimensions into their own layer, other stuff to other layers.
No shy message about objects being expanded.
All dimensions are displayed as single entities…1 vote -
Strokes on text area, fill disappear
Not sure if this work as intended, but it seems a bug to me and it does not allow using text areas elements. and strokes.
I need to apply a silhouette stroke to a whole group of elements.
I add a stroke, and I move it as the last effect in the aspect panel. This work for every group of elements, symbols and etc. Expect with groups containing text areas with filled background. In this case infact the stroke is removing the color fill from the text area.

Global colors used in a freeform gradient don’t get added into Swatches when it’s pasted into another document until the file is reopened
If you use global color swatches in the freeform gradient and copy to a new document, the global color doesn't get added to the swatches palette — you have to save and reopen the file for the swatch to appear.

Measure tool stops working for measuring an area after we toggle to Selection tool with Cmd/Ctrl and move the object
If we create an object and try to measure its area with the Measure tool — it gets highlighted and the area gets calculated fine, showing the result in the Info panel.
But as soon as we hold Cmd/Ctrl to temporarily pick Selection tool, and move the object, releasing Cmd/Ctrl breaks the measuring — no area, no highlight. Reselecting doesn’t help.1 vote -
Adding cloud fonts is a terrible experience
I click to use the cloud font and it should just download, it says it is downloaded and it is not. I have to remove it (which it doesn't show that it's on my system, it's a bug) and then re-add it.

Slow file open when other docs are open. Shows a magenta border. Macbook Pro Apple M3 Max; Sonoma up to date; AI 29.1.
What's the issue? I have to "command zoom out" to see the file. Or close the other files prior for it to open without stalling and a magenta border.

Objects from CC library placed in document, then embedded, do not respond logically to alignment commands.
I've encountered this on three different apple machines over 2 years. Currently:
1. macOS Monterey 12.7.5
2. Illustrator 28.5
3. Create graphic (ex. a logo) and add it to a CC Library. Place the Object in a new document. Embed it. Use direct select tool to select bounding box and delete it (so logo can be selected to change fill color, for example). Try to align object to either key object or artboard. It's likely the logo will move errantly left or right.
4. I expect align to work as with a normal (non library) object.
