Revert text on paths back to how it used to be
Fitting text to paths used to be a simple process whereby you could easily create a path from a shape, by slicing the object and creating an open ended path, (or draw one), selecting Text to path from the pull out menu on the text tool, typing and arranging text on the path and being able to adjust whether it was to appear on the top or bottom of the path, just by dragging the centre line. (All without having to go to multiple other menus/instruction boxes). I would suggest it wasn't broken, so why was it 'fixed'?

Area Type text disappears after editing in Illustrator 30.6 (macOS), Composer recomposition causes inconsistent rendering
[Environment]
•Application: Adobe Illustrator 30.6
•Platform: macOS
•Language: Korean UI
•Text Type: Area Type
•Composer: Japanese Composer
•Language Options: East Asian Options enabled[Summary]
While editing an Area Type text frame, several characters near the end of the text were modified. Immediately afterward, a portion of the text disappeared.
The text itself still exists and is selectable, but is no longer rendered correctly.
The issue is also reproduced in exported PDF files.
Creating outlines renders all missing text correctly.
Changing the Composer temporarily restores the missing text, but introduces different layout corruption (first-line indentation becomes incorrect).
Creating a brand-new Area…-

テキストが消えます
Illustrator2025以降のバージョンで、入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまいます。
テキストを入力→保存→ファイルを閉じる→開き直す と入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまうことがあり、入力し直しになります。
テキストをを平打ちした時とエリア内テキスト両方で同じ症状が起きています。

Editable Type isn't scaling correctly, even at 10% scale
I am creating a sign in 1-1 scale. When scaling down to fit on a proof page. the Type isn't scaling down correctly.
The image shows an outline text overlayed on top of the editable text, then selecting all and scaling down to 10%.
You can see how the live text is not the same as the outline text.

Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG
Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2
I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

agregar muestras en la ventana de texto
que la ventana de texto incorpore el poder pintar una palabra seleccionada sin tener que ir al panel de muestras ya que al hacerlo se debe volver a seleccionar la palabra, asi seria mas rapido para la contrucion de logos o titulos poder desde la misma ventana de texto, pintar la palabra, cambiarle la tipografía, etc.

Importing a PDF file saved from CAD shows a fault message
When opening a flowchart in Illustrator, a PDF file saved from a CAD, I get a fault message saying 'There are fonts in the document that are not installed on the computer'.
This is a new fault that came up last week, been using PDF files for a year and it have never been a problem until now.
Is there something i can do about it?

Remplacement de police sans avertissement
Bonjour, aujourd'hui j'ai réouvert un fichier .ai et sans avertissement une des polices, pourtant déjà installée (et pas d'Adobe fonts) a été tout simplement remplacée par de la Myriad pro.
Sans alerte, sans notification. Le seul indice à part l'apparence visuelle absolument différente, a été que j'ai documenté en écrivant en toutes lettres le nom de la police utilisée dans ma créa.
Ca ne donne vraiment pas confiance.

Adobe Fonts が Illustrator で認識されず、作業が継続不能になる重大不具合
Adobe Fonts に存在し、Creative Cloud でアクティベート済みのフォントが、
Illustrator 内で表示されず使用できません。具体的には「VDLロゴJr（通常・ブラック）」が、
・Adobe Fonts ではアクティブ
・Figma では使用可能
にもかかわらず、Illustrator のフォント一覧に一切表示されません。以下の対処をすべて実施しましたが改善しませんでした：
- Adobe Fonts の再アクティベート
- Illustrator のフォントキャッシュ削除（AdobeFnt*.lst）
- Windows の FontCache.dat 削除
- Illustrator の環境設定リセット
- ローカルフォントの衝突確認
- Figma Font Helper の停止それでも Illustrator だけがフォントを認識しません。
仕事で使用しており、毎月料金を支払っているにも関わらず、
基本的な「フォントが使える」という機能が保証されていない状態です。至急、原因の特定と修正をお願いします。

Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow
Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not.

Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool
Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.
This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

Illustrator slow and laggy with text
When I'm trying to edit a text box, illustrator turns very slow and laggy. With a simple text box. When I try to change font size, or writting, it takes ages to assume it. And the document turns very slow.

Text object becomes corrupted and cannot apply gradient or appearance
Illustrator on Windows 11 sometimes turns normal point text into a broken area text object.
When this happens:
- “Convert to Point Type” does not appear
- The text behaves like a text box even though it was created as point text
- The Appearance panel cannot add a new fill (button is greyed out)
- Applying a gradient turns the text completely black
- Copy/paste keeps the corrupted state unless pasted as plain textThis issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.I am…

文字パネル側の「フォント名を英語で表記」設定が正常動作していない
Windows 11 25H2
Illustrator 30.1文字パネルにある「フォント名を英語で表記」にチェックを入れても、すべてが英語名で表記されず、日本語のまま残る部分があります。
この状態で環境設定を確認すると、同名の設定では設定がONになっています。環境設定で設定をONにした場合は正常に英語表記されます。

Illustrator 30.1Even when checking “Display font names in English” in the Character panel, not all names are displayed in English; some remain in Japanese.
Checking the preferences in this state shows the setting is ON for the corresponding option.If you turn the setting ON in the Preferences, it displays correctly in English.
(However, if you have it ON in the Character panel, open the Preferences, and then toggle it OFF and back ON, it remains unchanged.)2 votes修正は最新の30.3一般リリースに反映されています。アップデート後、問題が解消されているか確認し、引き続き問題が発生する場合はご報告ください。

Type appears bolder after converting to outlines
When converting live type to outlines, the outlined text appears noticeably bolder. If you zoom in closely, the weight looks correct again.
This becomes a real problem when testing precise font weights for logos or identity work. Once type is outlined for customization, the apparent weight changes is making it difficult to accurately judge the final result. I often zoom out to evaluate designs at small sizes, but with outlined type, the visual weight no longer reflects how it should actually appear.
This behavior also shows up in exports:
If the outlined type is exported at small dimensions, the text…2 votes
