Illustrator not outlining type correctly
I've only started to encounter this recently and it doesn't happen with all fonts. When I outline certain typefaces - such as your Source Sans - it outlines parts of some letters individually, such as the bar in the letter 'A' in the attached example, or does some bizarre detour as seen in both the comma and the apostrophe (the two most typical examples I could think of).
All I am doing is outlining type with no stroke.
I'm running Illustrator 24.3 and Catalina 10.15.6

Thanks, Lance. I've actually had this happen with Adobe fonts in Illustrator. Go figure. I may have run across this in the past, but it would have been decades ago, so I was wondering if they may have inadvertently changed something? We'll see what they say.

I have definitely seen this before. I'm not sure it's an illustrator bug though, on my system it usually occurs with older fonts or badly made/free fonts.
Voted though, since it seems like it should be easy to include some sort of 'when creating outlines, make this text a compound shape' function
