  1. Font Weights Change Upon Opening Files

    When opening a file I previously saved, all the font weights switched around. Things that were bold were now light and light font were bold. A few fonts were switched out to different fonts altogether, even though the same font was still in the document, so it wasn't like it was unavailable.
    I deleted any duplicate of the fonts and only had fonts from Adobe Fonts used in my documents, but the problem didn't go away. When opening an older version of the file that had the correct fonts weights, it would automatically change once I saved it.
    I ended…

  2. Missing fonts with asterisk still appear in Illustrator font menu — even after cache cleanup

    Illustrator keeps showing missing fonts with an asterisk (*) in the font menu, even when those fonts are no longer installed or active.

    This happens even in new blank documents and after multiple attempts to clean caches and reset preferences.

    It makes the font list cluttered and hard to navigate, especially for users who work with many typefaces.

    Please consider adding an option to hide missing fonts from the font menu, or improve the way Illustrator handles font references and cache rebuilding.

    This issue has been affecting productivity and font management for a long time.

  3. Illustrator no longer keeping custom layer colors. Layer colors revert to black

    In recent Illustrator builds, custom layer colors applied to layers are not being saved with the document. When reopening the file, all layers that used custom colors revert to black, regardless of the original assignments. Default layer colors still persist correctly.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Create a new Illustrator document.
    Add multiple layers.
    Assign custom RGB colors to the layers (not from the default layer color list).
    Save and close the document.
    Reopen the document.

    Expected Result:
    Layers retain the custom colors assigned to them.

    Actual Result:
    All custom-colored layers revert to black, while default colors are preserved.

    Impact:
    This breaks…

  5. Can't Save multiple artboards as a Single File PDF from Export for Screens in 29.6

    Even though the single file option is checked, multiple artboards will not be saved in a single file, but as separate PDFs.
    This worked in previous versions.
    See forum report from Helena here:

  6. Hand tool is getting stuck in 29.1, massive performance issues

    Since yesterday Illustrator has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.

    The issue is seems to be focused around using spacebar to pan around my document. It gets stuck on the hand tool and the pan itself is laggy. When using the middle button on my mouse, the pan works perfectly though.

    Left clicking on elements and manipulating them is an unsurmountable task with these issues, effectively making Illustrator unusable to me now...

    I really hope someone else is also experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find…

  7. イラストレーターが全体に不具合

    囲み選択(黒)をしても反応せず、別の場所をクリックすると囲み選択をしている風になります。
    ただし、カット・コピー等の検索と置換より上の項目は指示出来ず、コピペも不可。グループ化も不可。
    全く作業出来ず、途方に暮れています。

  8. Generate Image says the the prompt is against guidelines

    So I asked the system to generate an image. Oddly it’s against guidelines, but getting absolutely no problem in Adobe Stock. Why??

  9. 特定の状態のパス上文字を操作するとIllustratorがクラッシュする。

    macOS 14.7.2/iMac27inch/i5/1TB/32GB
    Illustrator ver.29.7.1

    再現手順
    1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に楕円を描画する。
    2. パス上文字ツールで楕円をクリックして楕円を対象にパス上文字を作成
    3. 左右のブラケットを楕円の左右のアンカーポイントに合わせる。
    4. 中央のブラケットを操作するとブラケットが反対側に飛んだり戻ったりする。
    5. 4の挙動の後にクラッシュする。

    期待する結果
    ブラケット操作時に安定して操作できる。

    実際の結果
    ブラケットの操作が不安定で、高確率で最悪クラッシュする。

    回避方法
    楕円の一部をはさみツールで切断しておくことで不安定な動作を回避可能。

    Step to reproduce
    1. Open a new document and draw an ellipse on the artboard.
    2. Click on the ellipse with the Type on Path tool to create a Type on Path for the ellipse.
    3. Align the left and right brackets with the left and right anchor points of the ellipse.
    4. manipulating the center bracket causes the bracket to jump to the opposite side or back.
    5. crash after behavior of 4.

    Expected Results
    No crash…

  10. Images within opacity masks shift

    When using multiple opacity masks in a file in an earlier version, including 29.31. Opening it in illustrator 29.4 almost all the images used for the masks are repositioned to the center of the page.

  11. The Eraser Tool sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry

    The Eraser Tool, even with a size of 0 pt (but also with 1 or 2 pt), sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry, sometimes draws a gap in the geometry (as it should always do). This bug has always existed, you have never fixed it. Often, to make partial deletions of the geometry, I have to use other software (such as CorelDRAW).

  13. 定規の設定を0にすると次回開いた時にズレる / If you set the ruler to 0, it will be misaligned the next time you open it

    最新リリースバージョン「ver.26.2.1」にて、定規の0基準の設定されていないファイルを開いて、その中で0基準を設定後、保存してファイルを閉じた後、そのファイルを開くとデータの一部がズレた状態(トンボなどとそれ以外のいくつかのオブジェクトだけ勝手に動いた状態になってしまいます。

  14. 「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない/Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.

    Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。

    ・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
    ・Beta版と製品版(2025、2024)で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ

    回避策として

    ・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
    ・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートする

    などの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
    ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。

    UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか?と疑っています。
    バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。


    When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.

    • This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
    • Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.

    Workarounds:

    - Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.

    - Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.

    However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other…

  15. GPU rendering & mouse with indents (stepping) scroll wheel = blurry graphics

    When scrolling with a scroll wheel that has indents, the GPU rendering causes blurry graphics at the beginning of the newly rendered pars that come into the workspace. See attachment.
    It takes half a second to render that portion of the screen in normal quality on a Mac Studio Max! This machine should render fast enough to see no blurry parts. (120fps games as an example!)
    I suspect Ai 29.8.2 to have a render engine problem. It’s just too slow. Other apps like Figma, Affinity Designer render the same documents 100x faster.

  16. Pencil tool preview not showing

    Hello, in illustrator 29.4 and 29.5 (on windows 11 pro) I can't preview the path while i am drawing with the pencil tool. I checked all the settings and everything is set to see it. I had to downgrade to illustrator 29.2 to use it again

  17. Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled

    While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.

    Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

    Anyone else has the same issue?

  18. 拡大縮小

    バージョン30.0で拡大縮小ツールで「パターンの変形」のみを行おうとした際、ダイアログ上で「オブジェクトの変形」「パターンの変形」の両方のチェックが入った状態(もしくはオブジェクトの変形からパターンの変形に変更)から、「オブジェクトの変形」のチェックを外して「パターンの変形」のチェックのみにして実行するとパターンの変形が何度やっても実行されない。(最初から「パターンの変形」のみにチェックが入っていた場合のみパターンの変形が実行される)
    場合によっては、その後のオブジェクトの拡大縮小も挙動がおかしくなるので再起動が必要になる。
    なお、他の変形ツールに関しては未確認。

  19. Color changes (and other things) do not change until I click on the page somewhere in Illustrator 2026

    As in the title. I cannot see the changes I've made (fill color, stroke color, or fill/stroke flip) until I click on the page. Also after working on a file for some time, the "info" data stops working. i.e. the height and width (of an object) show zero instead of a number value. Restarting the app fixes it, but only temporarily.

    Note: these same things are happening on 2 (completely different computers). One is a high-powered Alienware Area 51 desktop, the other is a high-powered Dell.

  20. 塗りの線幅が縮小すると幅が変わってしまう

    図形や文字の幅をアピアランス→塗りを指定→パスのオフセットで
    幅を変更しています。v29.61と29.6でイラレを使用すると
    縮小などをした際に幅の比率が変わってしまいます。(線幅と効果拡大縮小もチェック済み)
    ※線で作成した図形や文字は比率を守ってくれます
    29.51を使用すると問題なく拡大縮小ができます。
    これはバグなのでしょうか?
