  4. フォントが反映されない

    一部フォントが反映されません。
    現在確認できているのは「AB-kirigirisu」「UDShinMGoPro6N-Light」「TBUDRGoStd-Regular」「mplus-1c-heavy」「mplus-2p-black」の5種です。
    この5種がillustrator内の文字ウィンドウのフォントファミリーを設定の一覧に表記がありませんが、ブラウザのAdobe Font内にはフォントが追加されている状態になっています。
    フォントをアクティベートする、フォントを一旦削除してから再度追加しなおす、PCを再起動するなどしましたが、改善しませんでした。

  5. Font Height settings not working with all-small-cap typefaces

    1. Working in MacOS 13.5.2

    2. Illustrator 27.8.1

    3. When setting type in a Area Type box, the default Font Height is snapping to the x-height of the text, but only when using fonts with small-cap style lowercase letterforms, rather than typical lowercase forms. When using a font with typical lowercase, the Font Height of the box is defaulting to the height of uppercase letters, as expected.

    This behavior is happening to fonts installed locally on my system, as well as those activated though Adobe Fonts.

    Selecting various settings for the Font Height option in the Character panel does not alter this behavior,…

  6. Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol

    As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176

    If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.

    For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.

    Single Replace works fine.

  9. Space on text disapear

    Windows 10 OS
    Adobe Illustrator (desktop) all updated (27.2)

    When i use text (type tool), for a single line or a text box, the spaces between the words disapear as i type it. I tried different fonts, different idioms on the text, tried check and uncheck hyphenization and always get the same result.
    Is that a configuration ussue that im not aware of? or is it a bug?

  10. Vertical Type Tool Not Working Properly

    (See Image for reference)
    When using the vertical type tool, it used to make a word have the letters stacked over each other. (like in column 'B) Now when you click with the Vertical Type Tool to type anything, it appears as image 'A'. I do not think its supposed to look like a word that has just been rotated 90 degrees? (like in column 'C')

  11. Create Outline changed text frame (with text only) to coloured block

    macOS Ventura, Illustrator 27.0.1

    I have several documents with texts in frames and texts as 'loose'/text area. But as soon as everything is converted to letter contours, some text frames change into colored blocks. In the example file it concerns a Google font, but it also happens with Adobe CC fonts, the problem seems to have to do with the text frames, see the example file.

  12. Point type alignment trouble

    I have an issue with Adobe illustrator, and the online help service didn’t help me at all

    Here’s the deal:

    When I type in English left to right, I can align the text to the horizontal center of the artboard.

    BUT when I write in Hebrew (or Arabic), right to left, using a point type, the text will not align.

    If I convert to area type, or if I change orientation of the txt to left to right, the text will align fine.

    So the issue happens only when writing in Hebrew or Arabic, In right to left orientation, and…

  13. Preferences > Type "Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing" Not working

    Version 27.0 64bit

    This setting: Preferences > Type "Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing" has no effect.

    Illustrator is automatically numbering and bulleting, even when the setting is on or off.

  14. Auto Spell Check marks capitalization mistakes when type is set to ALL CAPS.

    With auto spell check enabled, capitalization is still marked if the type is set to "ALL CAPS" in the the character panel's options. when using all caps, the capitalization of the underlying text should not matter, only what is displayed which is all-caps.

  16. N and M-spaces ruin tabstops

    When m or n spaces are in a text, positioning with tab stops is off.

  17. Long ligature name causes AI crash

    I am a beta user of Font Awesome 6 and extensively use its desktop fonts with ligatures.

    Any attempt to produce the ligature made by the string starfighter-twin-ion-engine-advanced will crash AI (26.0.2, macOS Big Sur). I believe this is a length of ligature issue as other ligatures from this typeface family are unaffected, including starfighter-twin-ion-engine, and the alias of starfighter-alt-advanced works. (Perhaps ligatures of 32 or more characters?) I was able to reproduce this twice with the aforementioned ligature and again with down-left-and-up-right-to-center (32 chars). It does not occur in Photoshop, so it is an Ai problem, not a font…

  20. Small caps do not work for Libertinus font (open type font)

    The small caps feature does not work for the Libertinus Serif font (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus) in Illustrator. Only some of the letters get capitalized. It does, however, work with Libertinus Serif Display. (different variant of the same font family) This issue (from the font development page) contains more information: https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/issues/482
    Other programs like LibreOffice don't have this issue and render the small caps correctly, so it may be that there is an issue in Illustrator.

    To reproduce: just download and install the Libertinus font, create a new document, add some text, apply the Libertinus Serif font and activate small caps…
