Auto-sized Area text not resizing correctly
Looks like someone didn't understand (or maybe I didn't explain well enough) what the issue was with this bug that was declined. So I have recorded a video to demonstrate the issue.

Illustrator 2018 Loses ability to keep text uniform when transforming the type on path
Illustrator 2017 had the ability to, while transforming the type on the path shape, to keep the text on it the same size and proportions when doing so. I would select the path with direct selection tool, then hit command, and text would stay uniform when transforming path.
Now, in illustrator 2018, using same steps and command, type doesn't stay uniform, it gets squished.
Below are video links I recorded to show how the action works in 2017 and 2018 illustrator.

CC 2018: Objects on top of textframes are no longer selectable
I made a clear video to illustrate this (annoying) bug.
My colleague has not yet updated Illustrator and is using the latest 2017 version.
I have updated to 2018.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1bUmXCcssg
In the video you see:
- On notebook 1: I created a textfield with rectangle on top. I can select the textframe and the rectangle on top easily. They are on the same layer.
- On notebook 2: I did the exact same, but it has become impossible to select the rectangle.I cannot imagine this is done on purpose.
I understand that I would not be able to select…3 votesWe have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 23.0.

Fonts Slow EVERYTHING Down
Fonts are the slowest feature in programs from MS Office to Adobe. This problem just caused me to lose work because AI shut down while trying to figure out how to manage a standard font with which I was working. Thanks for nothing AI and your simpleton font generators. You're fired.

Fonts not "resolving"
The fonts do not resolve, get picked up and installed, or re-installed on resolve missing fonts. I have to "resolve" them several times or delete and then reinstall. The whole process takes quite awhile. I wish the fonts would not go away, although "Anton" said it was still installed on my web font profile and my CC app.

Space characters differ in Illustrator and InDesign
OS: MacOS 15.7.7 (24G720)
Illustrator-Version: 30.6
Illustrator offers the space characters Quarter, Half-quarter, Twenty-fourth, Eighth.
Using these space characters in Adobe Illustrator leads to completely different results (spacing) than in Adobe InDesign.
Is this a program error or a font error?
I would also like to see the space characters menu expanded to include the Sixth, Eighth, Quarter, Third.2 votesThe font team confirmed Illustrator is using the space glyph instead of the Unicode glyph (U+2009). Logged and will be fixed.

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。

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.

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?
Due to confidentiality, I unfortunately cannot upload images on my work.2 votes
