Type on path side brackets shrink after the object gets resized, until moved
With a large text placed on a curve, every time you move any bracket they become very small. If you move the text everything goes back to normal until you touch the anchors again.

Text path vanishes when moving it with selection tools (black or white arrows)
Since updating to version 24.1.2 from Adobe Illustrator 2019, whenever I move text objects using any of the selection arrows, the highlighted path disappears during moving and only reappears when I stop moving the text object. This is frustrating as I can't see the baseline or centre point of the text object while trying to align it to something else. This never happened before I updated Illustrator. My OS is macOS Mojave 10.14.6, Illustrator version 24.1.2.

I have the latest version of Illustrator CC 2020 v. 24.0.3. Unfortunately, everytime I try to resize a type on path, Illustrator crashes. I have restarted the app and system and that didn't help.

Black versions of color fonts are no longer accessible
EmojiOne font B&W fallback version is no longer accessible in current versions of Illustrator. This is a crying shame! I am forced to stay with AI CC2015 because I need access to the black and white version of this font. Why would Adobe take away a perfectly useful variation of a font because it is a "color" font????

Character styles do not allow for optical alignments and kerning
Paragraph style applied to text area does not allow for optical margin alignment.
Not sure why this is happening but one paragraph style will let me kern punctuation outside of the box, and then another one will not. Instead, the character styles flicker around as I kern and will not change.
Converting the paragraph style to another one fixes this issue - but reappears when I apply the intended style.
Mac OSX Catalina.

Space After Paragraph is Missing
I'm using Illustrator 2020, v24.0.1 on a MacBook Pro using OS Mojave v10.14.6
Not sure where it went, but in the Paragraph tool, the "Space After Paragraph" feature is simply gone. I've rebooted the program and its still missing. Need this basic standard feature back ASAP.

Illustrator's fonts are not displaying
When I type something, the character panel does not show any fonts as an option. I have tried the dropdown menu to no avail. I found a work around a couple days ago but cannot remember what it was!

Files change type position/spacing when opening file saved in older versions of illustrator
Files opened in 23.1.1 saved in recent previous versions of illustrator change spacing, position and kerning.
I am working in 23.1.1 and the files in question were saved in a recent previous version. What happens is only certain fonts (all open type format in document) jump position by as much as 1 point. this has been confirmed on multiple machines running new version (23.1.1)
It appears that kerning/spacing/tracking gets altered. The attached file shows the comparison between new version and old version. green highlights show amount of distance of shifting.

Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB
Illustrator 23.1.1
Increase font shortcut: Command + Shift + . no longer works.
Decrease font shortcut DOES still work. Super annoying.
EDIT: I just realised if you press the decimal point on the number pad it works. The wrong "." seems to have been assigned the shortcut.

Justification doesn't work right
In a block of justified text, when you fine tune the justification settings to spread the letters more evenly and avoid white gaps, the justification gets broken.
(In Indesign the same procedure works perfectly.)On my screenshot you see the default setting on the left, and on the right with the letter and glyph spacing set to slightly decreased minimum and slightly increased maximum values – and the justification is gone…

Unable to skew individual words/letters in type
In previous versions of illustrator, you were able to skew individual words/letters from the character menu. That option has been replaced by an option to rotate.
Distorting highlighted text distorts the whole box of type. The font I'm working with does not have and italics and I need this option to italicize specific words.
I am using 23.0.6 on a mac with OS Mojave 10.14.6.
I'm attaching screenshots of this feature in InDesign so you can see what this used to look like in illustrator, as well as a screenshot of the new character panel in illustrator where it's missing.…
