What can we fix in Illustrator (desktop)? Vote or report a bug — one problem per entry, please.

← Illustrator (Desktop) Bugs

Certain font styles are missing, like Montserrat Bold, Arial Bold, Myriad Condensed, etc.

I have ITC FrizQuadrata installed. This font family has 4 styles: normal, italic, bold and bold italic.

AI CC2017 does show all four.
CC2018 shows only one — 'ITC'.

It doesn't show it when you type family name, it doesn't show other styles in drop-down style list.
If I copy/paste text with needed font family style from 2017 to 2018, AI will show me two identical font names but two different preview near them (and again no italics).

    After a short time of working, the font styles disappear from the font menu. They are then no longer selectable.
    If I select Text in the document, the Myriad is displayed instead of the correct font.

    I have checked which actions the problem occurs. Even if there is no user action and the document has been opened correctly and without error, Illustrator will switch to Myriad after a few minutes and will partially remove the fonts of the previously selected font from the menu.

    I took the following test:
    I have opened a document. ClanOT was previously selected as the font. Illustrator does not yet show any error. Then I didn't touch the computer and program for about five to ten minutes. When I wanted to continue working from the document, several font cuts had disappeared from the menu and the Myriad was set.

    The error occurs in Illustrator without any action by the user.
    I have deleted the font caches several times. The problem remains.

    I apologize if I misrepresented myself. My English is not perfect, so I use an online translator.

    What I mean is the following:
    I have created a document, selected a font and written text. Font is ClanOT bold. The typeface also has the cuts "book", "book Italic" and "bold Italic". After a few minutes I can only select bold. Or just Italic, for example. All other sections are no longer visible in the menu.
    The text in the document is highlighted, but then often Myriad is shown in the menu. (Not in the picture below)
    However, the text itself is still displayed in Clan.

    The font is not damaged. It works in all other programs.
    The problem affects not only the font Clan but some others as well.
    My font management program is compatible.
