Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool
Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.
This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

Moving several points of an area type or type on path causes "undo"
I am no longer able to move multiple anchor points for text on a path in v30 (GPU mode).
I'm using a Studio M2 Max with MacOS 15.5..The attached video demonstrates this behavior. I have two duplicate paths. While using "View using GPU" I try to edit multiple nodes on the text path. What happens is:
- the preview of the path disappears while I'm trying to move the nodes.
- the entire line moves, even though I've only selected a few nodes.
- my type was replaced with the "Lorem Ipsum" text (this happens intermittently, not every time).
But, when I…

New fonts don't load upon installation
Somehow, the new Adobe Illustrator updates prevent manually installed fonts from loading. These are fonts that aren't available in Adobe Fonts. So I have to install them manually. Because of this, I have to restart Illustrator so I can use the font. There's no problem when activating fonts on Adobe Fonts. Is there a workaround for this?

Font styles applied to portions of text 'slide' / shift positions when area type overflows
Illustrator 29.7.1 on Mac Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)
I dont' know whether it's related to this current issue, but now I have parts of my text that change appearance when I'm trying to change the Font weight of another part, or when I try to type more text.
The workaround I have found it copy-pasting the text into a new Textbox. But still, this needs to be fixed.

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?

We request that function key conversion be re-enabled for Japanese input.
Due to the latest update release, the conversion shortcuts using function keys during Japanese input have become unavailable. Please restore them so they can be used again.
Conversion shortcut details:
F6 → Hiragana
F7 → Katakana
F8 → Half-width Roman characters
F9 → Full-width Roman charactersIn Japan, conversion shortcuts using function keys are commonly used.
Previously, I could use those keys for Japanese input conversion without having to delete the corresponding Illustrator shortcut settings. However, in the latest version, even deleting the settings doesn't work, which is inconvenient.25 votesReported as fixed in version 30.

縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない
macOS 14.7.2
Illustrator ver.29.1Step to reproduce
1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。期待する動作
矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。実際の結果
スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。回避策
Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。

Braille fonts are displaying incorrectly after latest update (29.1)
After doing the latest update, one particular font I use is displaying at a different spacing to what it was in the previous versions of illustrator and is incorrect.
Its a slight difference but I deal with braille on medicine so this is required to be very accurate. I have attached an example but am unable to upload the font, which is a unique braille font for our company.
I have gone back to the previous version of Illustrator for now to resolve this.

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.

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.
2 votesThis 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.

Type on path not converting to outline
Operating System: OS X Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)
Version of Illustrator: 27.7I have an artwork which includes some type on a path (circle). When I go to send the file to a printer (PDF), I always outline the text as we've had issues in the past. For this artwork I've selected all the content and selected 'Convert to Outline', which has worked fine on all the type except the type on a path elements which just disappeared. I restarted Illustrator, but this didn't solve the problem.
The Type on a Path was part of a group, so I then…

Two selection borders around text
There's a second border around a text in my file when I select it. I cannot find why, what it does and how to remove it. When I create new text, it doesn't appear.

Text selection issue with threaded text frames
Trying to select text in the second column of a threaded text frame is impossible. The selection always jumps to select the text in the previous text frame. In the video example I uploaded - I'm simply trying to select just the top paragraph in the middle column - but it keeps highlighting the text in the linked text frame on the left column. I can never just select the top 3 lines in the middle column.
10 votesSeems like it was fixed and is no longer happening in the latest versions. Please recheck and comment back if it misbehaves still.

Can't adjust leading with Alt+arrow keys.
When trying to adjust text leading with ALT + Up/Down arrow keys as usual, it doesn't seem to work. It's inconvenient to adjust leading from the character menu.

縦組みのアキ量設定が水平比率の影響を受ける
ver.22以降（確認できた範囲）
macOS 10.13〜11.6.7（確認できた範囲）縦組みのテキストに対して「アキを挿入（右・下）」を設定した上で水平比率を操作するとその比率に応じてアキ量が変化する。
- テキストツールにて縦組みテキストを入力する。
- 文字パネルにて「アキを挿入（右・下）」を設定する。 3.. 当該テキストに対して水平比率を設定する。
- 文字の縦幅は変わらないがアキ量が水平比率に比例して増減する。
期待する結果
縦組みのアキ量は水平比率の影響を受けない。実際の結果
縦組みのアキ量設が水平比率の値によって変化する。回避手段
アキ量設定を使わずにトラッキングによる調整を行う。これは単純なバグです。縦組み時に水平比率を調整しても文字の天地は変化しません。しかし、アキ量（上・左）、アキを挿入（右・下）ともに水平比率の値の影響を受けます。横組みと縦組みを同様に処理していると考えられます。

Glitch signs introduced by illustrator when opening a plot created by R
Hi everyone,
I mainly use Illustrators to manually edit plots/figures created by R (a statistical programming tool). R creates PDFs which can (normally) be opened and edited using Illustrator.
However, I recently encountered a strange bug. My plots look just fine when I open the PDFs using Acrobat Reader, but they contain glitch signs instead of points when I open them using Illustrator 2023.
I am attaching a (zoomed in) picture showing these symbols. If anyone can help, that would be very appreciated :).
1 voteThe problem got resolved with changing the font manually in the imported PDF. However, it does not explain the problem completely. Please comment if you have new information on this.
