Some variable fonts get expanded in parts
If you apply a stroke to a live text using Acumin Variable Concept, Myriad Variable Concept, Minion Variable Concept fonts, the stroke stays solid.
If you expand these, glyphs are united.However, if you do the same with Bahnschrift, Cascadia Code, Clash Grotesk Variable, Source Code Variable (and perhaps some other fonts), you get glyphs partitioned.
To workaround this, we can use Pathfinder Add effect... but it won’t help if you have different fills applied to your characters.
Why the results are different? why Illustrator treats some variable fonts as a collection of sub-parts, but others stay wholesome?

Сonverting a type object from Area to Point replaces soft breaks with paragraph breaks
Illustrator's 'Convert To Point Type' should not change soft line breaks to paragraph breaks, as the GIF shows.
Thanks to John Goodman for reporting that.

Area Type text stretching when transformed with another shape
When I transform an Area Type text box using the handles, it resizes the Area and the type fits according to paragraph settings - which is what I want from Area Type - (first part of video).
But if I transform at the same time as another shape, selecting both at the same time - the type resizes like point type, stretching and scaling with the box, which is not how area type should behave - (second part of video).
So I can't transform an Area Type text box at the same time, for instance, as a holding shape that…

On applying tracking via Properties panel, Illustrator issues like Tracking of complete paragraph changes , Bounding Box gets invisible
MacOS, multiple versions, multiple hardware configs
Illustrator CC2018 & 2019This has been reported on a number of other posts, but seems to keep being reposted as new entries, rather than upvoted.
Since CC2018 the ability to adjust tracking in Illustrator has been broken. This appeared to begin with the introduction of the Properties Panel in CC2018, but the issues extend to the 'normal/traditional' Character Panel as well.
When adjusting tracking on a single letter or group of letters, the program will glitch and the adjustment value shown in the panel will not reflect the value being incremented. Moreover, deselecting…

Selection tool not working with Text
Intermittently, the selection tool isn't working with my text. For area type, the bounding box will disappear (and "show bounding box" is enabled). When it re-appears, often there is a lag between when I move the text and when the bounding box follows it. If there is no lag, it is not uncommon for the bounding box not to move at all.
OR my selection tool will (on area type) act only like a direct selection tool. And the transformation controls on each side of a rectangle of the type box will disappear. All I can do is use the…

Spellcheck underlines things that are OK
The dictionary Illustrator uses is quite poor it seems, especially for non-English languages.
But what’s more important, Ai always wants me to make each first word capitalized in a line after a soft-break. Hey, do you know soft break is not a paragraph return, right? It means just a new line, not the end of a sentence.
Just stop. It makes the Spellcheck completely useless.

Font Height Options misbehave with rounded fonts
Recently I started to notice that some of the fonts I use make wrong result when x-height or cap-height is used to set a font size.
I clearly see that the height is of, by eye and the underlying grid, but Character palette says otherwise. I outline the font, I measure glyphs and I get smaller dimensions.
Take a look at the file and the picture attached.
When fonts with straight terminals are used, everything is fine. Visual dimensions match metrics precisely.
But when a font with rounded terminals is used, like two examples at the bottom, things go weird.

Fonts Syncing
I just upgraded my computer to the Macbook Pro 2021 M1. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe and noticed none of my fonts will sync. I've tried posted troubleshooting methods and none have worked (closing and restarting apps, reinstalled apps, multiple computer resets, unsyncing and resyncing manually, etc). Any time I open an Illustrator project with previously used fonts that aren't native to the app, it prompts me to sync but the load wheel just keeps spinning and will never finish.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Type on Path Broken - Can't Resize
Not sure if this has been reported yet or not. When I use the type on path tool and try to resize it the type's center point is moved and/or the kerning is thrown way off. See the video for an example of what's happening.
The only way I can get around this is making a copy of the object so I can save an editable version, then outline the text on the other version so I can resize. This is a MASSIVE pain.
Using Ai version 25.4.1

Type Tool is very slow - Adobe Illustrator CC 2019
I recently update Adobe Illustrator CC to the latest version (CC 2019) and the type tool is painfully slow. Every time I try to use it, I get 15-20 seconds of the pinwheel before the cursor shows up. Once the tool is finally activated, everything takes a prolonged amount of time (5-10 seconds to type a letter, etc.) Thanks for any help.

Since two users has confirmed that issue is resolved after updating to latest release, so closing the bug. If you face the issue even after updating to 23.0.3, please write an email to sharewithai@adobe.com

Syncing font from Typekit never works
When opening a file that I have used Typekit fonts in, the missing fonts dialog box tells me they are missing, but are available to sync from Typekit.
I have tried the following to restore my fonts- Press "Sync" from the missing font dialog box inside illustrator. (this does nothing. it loads forever and never updates my fonts)
- Open typekit in browser, unsync and re-sync all fonts.
- Close file. Open typekit in browser, unsync and re-sync all fonts. Re-open file.
- Quit Illustrator. Open typekit in browser, unsync and re-sync all fonts. Launch Illustrator. Open file.
NOTHING works.

Cursor jumps while editing Font Family name
When I try to change font name from HeliosCondBlackC to HeliosBlackC (both are installed), erasing part of the name, CC2018 moves cursor to the end (while CC2017 does not)
I also have 'Entire Font name' option chosen (and never change it), but cursor still jumps to the end.12 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our release – 23.1 which is available worldwide now.

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。

Ai crashes (hangs) after installing (and selecting) Google Noto Color Emoji font!
Since Ps has added NCE (Noto Color Emoji) font, Ai doesn't recognize it! I downloaded the font from GFont (NCE v2.038). After installing (for "All users"), whenever I select the NCE font in Ps or Ai, those apps crash (hang)!
If I uninstall the font (which I downloaded from GFont, not the Ps native installed one) and reinstall Ps, the font works OK, but again it doesn't appear in the Ai font list!
I posted some screenshots there:

Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text
Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.
Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

Open the attached document.
Enable Snap to Grid.
Select text.

Hold Shift (or even do not).
Try to rotate the text.
Failure?
If yes, move it a bit to the side (with snapping still on) and try again.
