Font choice must change when I change it. This is a new problem occuring. The font absolutely should not revert back to an earlier selection.

When I write something new, it change it to another typo that I didn´t choose. Even if I try to add a point or change a letter in the middle, it change it.

I put an extra "i" in the middle and change the typo

Very frustrating bug. Everything tooked twice as long.
Problem fixed with this update.

When I click in into an existing text box and edit the copy - the font is changed for the new typed text. It doesn't maintain the font of the text that I am editing.

Illustrator 2025 (29.2.1)
I have confirmed that this bug has been fixed.

Porque¡

Illustrator > Settings > Type > Uncheck "Enable Missing Glyph Protection" box

This is happening to me too. Baffling. Attached is a screen recording. So far, it's only this one file.

It's only happened with one other file previously (maybe back in November?), and that was the bug where it converted to Myriad, the default font, not to another font used in the file. I quit and restarted Ai, didn't fix it, then restarted the machine, also didn't fix.

Mac OS 15.2, Ai 29.1.

Can't wait to download the update, thanks!

Gracias por esta solución. Ya me estaba rompiendo bastante las pelotas.

Thank you for this fix... issue was driving me nuts

When I drop the type cursor into a text box and type new characters it does not retain the correct font and instead places a different one previously used. This is crazy annoying! This needs to be fixed ASAP!

Good to hear that it works in 29.2. The update details should be available when the worldwide update rollout is complete, which should be anytime now.

Seeing people say 29.2 fixed this bug, but this update is not showing in my CC.

I've restarted my computer, quit adobe CC a restarted the app, quit all my adobe apps, hit the "check for updates" button...im at a loss

The issue seems to be fixed in 29.2. Tested with Missing Glyph Protection option enabled - ok.

Does the update 29.2 contain this bug correction? thank you!

P.S.: It would be cool to have a patch note with an update, so we can see what's in it.
I would't have to ask....

Subject: Issue with Font Identification and Behavior in Illustrator

Dear Adobe Support Team,

I’m experiencing an issue with font identification and behavior in Adobe Illustrator. When I click on a text in the document, Illustrator correctly identifies the font being used. However, when I start typing, it automatically switches to a different font instead of continuing with the one already applied in the document.

This issue significantly affects my workflow, as I have to manually reconfigure the font every time, even though it should already be preset in the document.

Could you please assist me in resolving this problem?

Thank you in advance for your support.

There is currently an update rolled out: 29.2
In the meantime: Illustrator Preferences or Settings > Type > deselect "Missing Glyph Protection"

OMG Please fix this ASAP it's driving me insane and making my work so much harder to complete. Too busy for this.

Our team is having the same issue. For example, you create a text box, type the text "WELCOME", format it to Avenir, Bold, Red color. Then if you click in the same text box and type the word HOME after, that word defaults to Myriad Pro. So WELCOME is in Avenir, and HOME is in Myriad Pro. This developed after the newest update.

el texto se cambia y las tipografías se mezclan, es insoportable y la actualización no lo soluciona
