Just updated to Illustrator 24.3 and now installed font only has a few letters
I updated to the latest version of Illustrator (24.3) and opened a document I had created in a previous version. Most of my text was missing. I checked and the font was still available and activated. I deactivated and reactivated and that didn't help. When I click the text, it gives me the message that "This text was created in a different version of Illustrator. Editing the text may cause some changes to your text layout. Basic formatting will not be affected. Do you want to continue?" The font is PeachyKeenJF. Only a few letters/numbers actually show up. I'm on…

Text height is wrong
When you select a specific text height, it is not correct. Say for instance you select 1 inch for text height but in reality the cap height is .68 inches. We work at a sign shop and a lot of jobs require a specific text height. This is misleading when I pick 1 inch for text height and it is no where near 1 inch in height. Can you please make it where the text height corelates to the actual cap height of the text, otherwise this feature is useless.
2 votesLatest Illustrator releases have Font Height Options you can access form Character panel’s menu — they allow you to set font height as a capital / x-height specifically.
The functionality has some minor issues (regarding rounded stems for some fonts, keeping the chosen option between launches), but otherwise it is very good. Please try it!

Clicking "Add to Dictionary" on the right-click context menu for spell check does not update red underline...
When adding a word to the spell-check dictionary using the right-click context menu, the underline remains under the word. Shouldn't that get removed after adding the word to the dictionary? It does not get removed from other instances of the word in the document either.

new update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outline
new update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outline
Thai font deleted or missing when create outline.
Most of the time it happens to few or last fonts of the line.NOTE: weird thing is when newly launch the app and open CC2020 file first, Create Outline works fine. But once I open another file which is legacy file eg. CS6, this issue suddenly happens. After that if I continue working on CC2020 file, this issue also happens on CC2020 file.
The problem will reset once I quit the app and relaunch. And happen again if I open…2 votes -
24.2 Unable to use special characters: English OS, German regional settings and keyboard
On a fresh English language Illustrator installation (English OS, German regional settings and German qwertz keyboard on Win10) I am unable to use any character that needs ALT GR as a Modifier. I therefore can not access €, @ | and a lot of pretty important letters. If that helps, Photoshop doesn't show this problem, but Indesign has similar issues. Other, non CC apps with English UI language work fine.

Cannot stop Auto Resize on Area Type box for large text areas
I do not want my text box to auto-resize. The "Auto-Resize" option fails on large text box areas. Auto-Resize is turned off in my preferences. I have large text box areas filled with type and whenever I need to make an adjustment to the type box it always automatically resizes. I have tried selecting the "fixed" options and those fail too. In the video attached you can see that large areas of text will automatically resize. However, on a smaller scale the Area Type box does not.

Illustrator 24.1.3 Type tool and text refresh
I've been experiencing an error and annoying Type tool bug since the last update to AI 24.1.3. It happens when I type something and later I go back to edit it (for example adding extra text, fixing a type) and the change does not appear to occur until I switch to Outline view. Alternatively, if I option-drag the text path the duplicate path shows the correct text. This is an old error (at least in appearance) that was fixed several versions ago and now it's back.

Copy-pasted text don’t show ö,ü,ä,õ letters
If I copy "täpitähed" (or whatever text with those letters in) it gives messy text where öüäõ letters are not seen at all. It worked nicely before... but now sometime it becomes this messy paste. Can you please fix it!

Text in connected Area Type Text boxes becomes very unstable when scaling
MacOs Mojave 10.14.6
What did:
Made area type square object
Copied it 13 times, connected it
put this structure under mask (tried also to put every object under it's own mask- same result).
added shape objects
Scaled everything - everything fine.
selected all the text in the structure and write new one with the same font/
Scaled it
Usually if you select this structure of connected area type boxes in company with some shape or object and scale all this, size of text in this boxes changes accordingly.
Result differs every time. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes all the letters have…

Optical Kerning issue when outlining and scaling
If you write something using optical kerning, copy it, paste in front and outline it, the outline matches up. However if you then scale both in pro, lets say 300%, then the live text no longer matches the outlined version (see attached example where the live text is in red and outlined vectors in black). This is causing us problems when scaling objects onto different panels but we are required to supply editable text. Logos etc are no longer exact scaled replicas!
We are using CC 2019 (as our clients need files in this format).2 votes -
Find and replace superscript
I've tried copying the superscripted text to the clipboard and pasting in the Replace box of the Find and Replace dialog, but it loses the superscripting, and pastes into the document without it. I find I have to go into each occurrence individually and superscript each one.

left justifying text doesn't work
Command +Shift+ L does not work. I checked my hot key preferences and even tried changing it and it still doesn't work.
2 votesA possible common solution to this is to check if other applications — browser extensions, screenshot/buffer managers, etc. — steal the hotkey Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L combination.
Unfortunately, Illustrator can’t see other apps claiming hotkey at OS level, as can’t they.

Type
After applying a Font "size" it will change automatically when I move my mouse. This is very annoying and a big waste of my time having to go back again and again to try to get a font size to "stay" at the value I set it at. This should not happen. Fix this Adobe!
