1. Illustrator 30.3+ silently substitutes installed fonts without reporting them missing (prepress risk on macOS)

   This is reproducible with a single existing AI file by opening it in 30.2.1 and then opening the identical file in 30.3+ on the same Mac without changing any fonts.

   Starting with Illustrator 30.3 on macOS, Illustrator silently renders some installed fonts as Myriad while continuing to report "Missing Fonts: 0." This creates a serious prepress issue because converting text to outlines permanently outlines the wrong font with no warning.

   I am using Monotype Connect Fonts to manage fonts.

   Versions tested on the same Mac with the same AI file and same font environment:

   29.8.10 - WORKS CORRECTLY
   30.2 - WORKS CORRECTLY
   30.2.1 - WORKS CORRECTLY
   30.3 - FAILS
   30.4 - FAILS
   30.6 - FAILS
   30.8 - FAILS

   Steps to reproduce:

   Open an existing Illustrator file containing text using Book Antiqua.
   Open the file in Illustrator 30.3 or newer.
   Observe the text using Book Antiqua.
   Open Type > Find/Replace Font.

   Expected result:

   Book Antiqua should render correctly. If Illustrator cannot access or resolve the font, Illustrator should report the font as missing and provide a missing-font warning.

   Actual result:

   The document continues to list Book Antiqua in Find/Replace Font and reports "Missing Fonts: 0."

   However, the text is visibly rendered as Myriad instead of Book Antiqua.

   There is no missing-font dialog or substituted-font warning.

   Opening the identical file in Illustrator 30.2.1 immediately renders Book Antiqua correctly without making any changes to the document or font installation.

   This is a serious production issue, not simply a font-preview inconvenience.

   In a normal print-production workflow, I select the artwork and use Type > Create Outlines before creating the press PDF. Illustrator 30.3 and later will create outlines from the incorrectly substituted Myriad text. At that point the substitution becomes permanent vector artwork and there is nothing for a PDF preflight or the printer to identify as a missing font.

   This could therefore result in an incorrectly typeset job being printed without Illustrator ever warning the operator that a font was not being rendered correctly.

   The behaviour begins specifically with Illustrator 30.3. Illustrator 30.2.1 and earlier tested versions render the same font correctly on the same Mac.

   This appears potentially related to the font-handling changes introduced in Illustrator 30.3. Unlike previously reported issues involving Typeface auto-activation, this occurs in a Monotype Fonts production environment and can result in silent font substitution during press preparation.

   This is reproducible with a single existing AI file by opening it in 30.2.1 and then opening the identical file in 30.3+ on the same Mac without changing any fonts.

2. Text changes colour at random

   A file appears correct in Illustrator 2026 and correctly produces a PDF (save a copy) when the original Illustrator file is still open. Yet when the Illustrator file is then saved, closed and then reopened, the Illustrator file has errors with the colour of text changing at random. This is happening on multiple computers running MacOS (Silicon). This error only happens in Illustrator 2026 and not 2025.

   The text that changes varies, even within one document. Sometimes it is a single piece of text that changes, sometimes it is all of the text. The colour it changes to is random, ie sometimes black, sometimes a spot PANTONE colour, sometimes a process colour swatch.

   We have also had other weird things happen such as a PDF appearing incorrectly in Acrobat but when opening that same PDF back in Illustrator, the colours appear as they should.

   See screenshots for what happens to text after opening in Illustrator 2026.

   We tried to find specific circumstances for when text changes colour but could not. A file that was getting corrupted 30 minutes ago, failed to be corrupted when we tried the same things later. The only consistent feature is that it is Illustrator 2026 and not any other version of Illustrator.

3. Significant issues when outlining a file for production / Color of text becomes mixed [?] while Appearance shows None for fill color

   When outing a full packaging layout for print production, text blocks turn solid (not text), editable compound shapes (shapes with text in them) turn solid, sometimes the whole layout disappears - I cannot find a common issue for these things and seems somewhat random. This never happened before the V29 update and is causing significant rework and extra steps in the file production process.

4. Text gets duplicated in the second threaded area

   Good morning,
   Often, when I have two linked text boxes, the text placed in the first box is repeated in the second box. This doesn't happen right at the beginning, when I link the text boxes. I notice this later, when I review the work done. Can you tell me why this happens?

5. Variable Google Fonts reset to minimum weight on file open in Illustrator

   Issue Description:

   When opening files in Adobe Illustrator, the program incorrectly handles Google Fonts variable families that use floating weight values (variable wght axis). All text elements that were assigned specific weight values (e.g., 400, 500, 600) are automatically reset to the minimum weight value after reopening the file. As a result, all text switches to the thinnest available style in the variable font.

   Expected Behavior:

   Illustrator should correctly save and restore the numeric values of variable font axes (in this case, the wght axis) and display text exactly with the weight settings assigned before saving.

   Actual Behavior:

   After reopening the document, all text objects using Google variable fonts lose their assigned weight values and revert to the lowest/minimal value of the wght axis. Visually this appears as if all text changes to the “thin” style of the family.
   This breaks the typographic hierarchy and causes layout shifts, making the file unusable without manual correction.

   Steps to Reproduce:

   • Latest Illustrator release (Windows).
   • Use any Google Fonts variable family (e.g., with a wght axis).
   • Assign different weight values within the same variable family to text objects.
   • Save the file, close it, then reopen it.
   • All weights revert to the minimum value.

   Impact:

   The design opens with damaged typography. All weight settings must be restored manually, which is time-consuming and may cause inconsistencies or visual artifacts.

6. Paragraph styles not properly justifying

   I'm using the latest updated version of CC on mac High Sierra 10.13.6

   When I just use the justify option in the paragraph window, the type will justify properly, but when I've tried to create a paragraph style, the type hangs outside of the text box, no matter what I do.

   Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a bug issue? And if so, any workarounds? I'm working on a file that needs a lot of type, and Illustrator is preferred over InDesign (which I've never had a problem with).

   Thanks.

7. Text edits have no undo, do not trigger file as updated

   When editing a block of text. Back delete key does not work and forward delete key deletes from start of block instead of cursor/insertion point. Text has to be highlighted to be deleted. Undo for deleted text is unavailable. Document does not indicate any changes and can be closed without a save dialog and thus losing edits.

9. 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'?

    Expected result:
    Objects should be selected smoothly and accurately.
    The selection cursor/arrow should remain stable.
    Text objects and fonts should be selectable so that the text can be edited normally.

    Actual result:
    Objects cannot be selected or grabbed reliably.
    The selection cursor/arrow does not behave consistently.
    Text objects and fonts cannot be selected properly, so the text cannot be edited.
    The issue still occurs even after restarting the computer.

11. 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 Type frame and pasting the identical text completely resolves the issue.

    [Workflow]
    The document was created as follows:
    Original document created in Adobe InDesign.
    Exported as PDF.
    Text copied from the PDF.
    New Illustrator document created.
    New Area Type text frames created manually in Illustrator.
    Text pasted into the new Area Type frame.
    No Illustrator document was converted from older versions.

    [Steps to Reproduce]
    Although the issue cannot currently be reproduced consistently, the following sequence produced the problem.
    1. Create a new Area Type text frame.
    2. Paste Korean text copied from a PDF exported from InDesign.
    3. Edit several characters near the end of the paragraph.
    4. Part of the text suddenly disappears.

    [Expected Result]
    •Text remains visible after editing.
    •Paragraph composition remains unchanged except for edited characters.

    [Actual Result]
    •Part of the text disappears.
    •Text object still contains all characters.
    •No text overflow exists.
    •Exported PDF also contains the missing text.
    •Creating Outlines displays all missing text correctly.

    [Investigation Performed]
    The following tests were performed.
    [Font substitution]
    Changed the font to another Korean font.
    [Result]
    Issue remained identical.

    [Text Overflow]
    Verified that no Area Type overflow existed.
    [Result]
    No overflow.

    [Reset Bounding Box]
    Object → Transform → Reset Bounding Box
    [Result]
    No change.

    [Clean Up]
    Object → Path → Clean Up
    [Result]
    No change.

    [Composer Change]
    Changing the Composer temporarily restored the missing text.
    However:
    •first-line indentation became corrupted
    •paragraph layout changed unexpectedly
    •switching Composer again produced different rendering issues
    This suggests recomposition inconsistencies rather than a paragraph formatting issue.

    [New Area Type Frame]
    Created a completely new Area Type frame.
    Copied the identical text into the new frame.
    [Result]
    Everything rendered correctly.
    The issue remained only in the original Area Type object.

    [Additional Observations]
    •The problem is not font-dependent.
    •The problem is not caused by Area Type overflow.
    •The text data itself is intact.
    •Rendering becomes normal after Create Outlines.
    •The issue appears to be tied to the original Area Type object.
    •Recomposition triggered by Composer produces inconsistent layout results.

    [Suspected Cause]
    The issue appears to originate from the internal composition state of a specific Area Type object.
    Possible areas to investigate:
    •Area Type internal composition cache
    •Japanese Composer recomposition
    •Area Type rendering state after editing
    •Korean text layout recomposition

    [Files Available]
    The following can be provided if necessary.
    •Original AI file
    •Screen recording
    •Before/After screenshots
    •PDF export demonstrating the issue

    The issue was isolated through multiple troubleshooting steps, and the only reliable workaround found was recreating the Area Type frame. Since the text content, fonts, and paragraph settings remain identical, this appears to be related to the internal composition state of the original Area Type object rather than user formatting or font corruption.

    *Additional finding
    The same AI file opens and renders correctly in Illustrator CC 2025 without any modification.
    The issue only occurs in Illustrator 30.6.
    This suggests that the problem may be a regression introduced in Illustrator 30.6 rather than a document-specific issue.

    [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.

13. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print a files that have text overflowing with no indication.

    • View using GPU and CPU makes no difference.
    • It happens on old / new files when opened.
    • Applies to all fonts,
    • Some larger paths still show
    • Does not differ if I toggle View > Show/Hide Text Threads

19. 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.

    Please help with this issue

20. 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 text

    This issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
    Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.
