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 up just going to an older version of Adobe so I wouldn't have to worry about all my files being messed up (and now it's crashing a lot with I guess is the preferable problem.)

That’s amazing. Indeed the weights are just swapped for the Roboto. No overset...

Hi Egor,
Here's one of the messed up files (Font-Change-File) along with what it's supposed to be.
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Thank you! -
Sure! If possible, please send both copies of it — the broken one and the previous.

Hi Egor,
I don't have the file as a cloud document. I had it saved to a GoogleDrive I share with my client, so I was able to pull an older version from that.
I'm not sure if that messes up what you're hoping to find with the document. Let me know if you want me to send over what I have regardless. -
Riley, I read all comments here (I mean all).
Aha! You say you 'ended up downloading an older version' — does it mean you work with a cloud document? .aic?
In this case — can you please share the link to a copy of this document with a team, so they can look into it? Ai 29.7.1 has a ton of font-related problems, and they are trying to find the root of it. Send it to sharewithai@adobe.com, and put the link to this particular report in the body of the email — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50403765
Thank you! -
Hi Egor,
I don't know how to reply to you directly, so hopefully you'll see my comment here.I looked at the other reported problem, and my issue is different.
1. There's no overflow text in my document. Everything is in its own, separate textbox.
2. Everything was fine in the document while I made it. I could change font weights normally. The problem didn't show up until after I saved and closed the file (and everything looked right while saving). When I reopened the file later all the font weights switched around. I ended up downloading an older version of my design file, since my current one was so messed up, and it looked fine when I opened it, but one I saved it and opened it again, the issue happened all over. I couldn't get it to stop, which is why I switched to an older version on Illustrator.
Hope this helps.

Riley, it feels like another recently reported problem:
Font styles applied to portions of text 'slide' / shift positions when area type overflows
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50337411I understand that you downgraded already... but can you check or remember if the text areas that you have in the file are / were overflown?
The problem was solved in the Beta build — can you try?
