  1. Bug with the ' touch on AZERTY keyboard on AI 2024

    Hi ! I recently came upon a but while typing text with a French AZERTY keyboard. Indeed touching the ' (apostrophe) symbol instead writes a < or > when entered. I thought at first it was a font problem, but after trying a few different ones wondered if if wasn't a keyboard language problem, but then i tried on AI 2023 and had no problem typing my text correctly.

  2. Text is uneditable.

    I have large text files in my illustrator artboards and when I try to edit the copy, it only allows me to select a singular letter rather than being able to simply click the text and edit it.

  5. Cursor indicator jumps from linked text boxes

    When I try to move the cursor between text in linked text boxes, the cursor instead jumps to the first text box. This is seen particularly when selecting a space in the text, or when trying to move the cursor to the front of a text line within a linked text box.

    Double-digit numbered bullet points are adding additional space after the number. This is happening with certain fonts (adobe and non adobe) as well as certain font sizes.

  10. Charter font is misrendered at small sizes

    The Italic version of the Charter font that comes standard on macOS is misrendered at small sizes by several Adobe programs, including Illustrator and Acrobat.

    Steps to reproduce on macOS:

    1. Create some text in a new document, ideally including the character "A"
    2. Set the typeface of the text to Charter Italic
    3. Simply zoom out until the "A" is shown with obvious artefacts. Zooming in again resolves the issue. See attached screenshot of the same text rendered at larger and smaller sizes, for comparison.

    Notes:

    This affects not just the "A" character, but it's the most noticeable with it. Notably, it…

  11. Two selection borders around text

    There's a second border around a text in my file when I select it. I cannot find why, what it does and how to remove it. When I create new text, it doesn't appear.

  12. Manually scaled text can’t be selected

    If I click to select my text and double-click to scale manually, I am no longer able to select it again. If I want to select the text again I have to click and drag the select tool over other objects to select the text. Sometimes that works sometimes not. Doesn't work at all with a single object that's broken.

  13. Illustrator goes not responding every time Font is scrolled through

    I had my Illustrator 'not responding' every time i scroll the font character. I tried to install the old version but still no avail.

    This issue has happened since a month ago and I had reported many times through feedback from the app itself.

  14. Automatic hyphenation with + instead of -

    Sometimes (not always), the automatic hyphenation divides the word with an "+" sign, instead of a "-" sign, which it should be. It appears with various fonts, it is NEVER reliable, sometimes I write a PDF for the customer, it has the + inside, I see it, I open the AI again and everything if fine again, without restarting anything or changing anything. Sometimes it gets not written correctly for weeks and I have to hyphenate myself, which we all know, is a drag in Illustrator.

    Where is the Problem located, and how do we fix it.

  15. Illustrator 2023 crashes when clicking the scroll bar in the font selection dialog

    Ever since I installed Illustrator 2023 the entire program will hang when using the mouse, trackpad or wacom pen to select the scroll bar in the font selection drop down menu

    Fonts can still be chosen using the cursor keys to navigate up and down. Previous versions of Illustrator are still working as expected so I haven't been able to track down a corrupt font.

    I have tried a uninstall/reinstall and resetting of preferences. Nothing seems to work.

    This is on an M1 Mac (but also has replicated on an Intel Macbook Pro both on MacOS Monterey.

  16. Opentype-SVG no longer rendered correctly in 2023

    I have some Opentype-SVG fonts that render correctly in MacOS with Pages/Number/Keynote, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint, in Chrome, and LibreOffice (Mac/Linux). That's several font rendering engines.

    In Illustrator 2023, however, they were rendered stretched horizontally (as if the SVG occupy the full space ignoring side-bearings). The spacing issues is even worse for SVG glyphs with standard ligatures --- the SVG occupies only the space of one character.

    I have used OT-SVG fonts in Illustrator before, and I don't recall seeing strange behaviour like this. Could this please be fixed?

  17. illustratorだけ正常にフォントが表示されない

    TTEditで自作したフォントを10個インストールしましたが、Turetypeの日本語フォントのみillustratorでだけ表示されません。フォント名は連番で作成していますが(例:WA-01、WA-02など)環境にないフォントとしてフォントファミリーとして認識してしまします。
    手動でフォントを変更することは可能ですが、他のPCでは同じフォントと認識しません。
    Excelでは表示されます。

    PC:Windows10 21H2
    illustrator:26.0、27.0どちらでもダメでした
    実行:フォントリストの再作成、フォント名の英語表記ON/OFF、環境設定ファイルの再作成、Adobeのログアウト、PCの初期化、日本語IMEの旧バージョンON/OFF、Adobeの必須ファイルへ直接フォントファイルを入れてのインストール、Windows/Fontsへコピーしてのインストール

    いろいろ試しましたが変わりませんでした。
    PCも変更してみましたがダメでした。

    まず、フォントリストが削除出来ませんでした。
    (写真参照)

    解決策があれば教えていただきたいです。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  18. Lost partial fraction capabilities for OpenType

    It seems that Illustrator has lost partial fraction OpenType capabilities recently. I was able to create various types of fractions using the 'Fractions' option in the OpenType menu. As of recently, this capability has since been limited to basic fractions (1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
    Just to note that I did not change the font. I've been using the same font in both cases (Myriad Pro).
    Currently on Illustrator 2023 (Ver. 27.5).

  20. Font not automatically updating embedded Font

    I am using an exported PDF from Autodesk Inventor where there is an embedded Font included but not showing i original PDF.
    I use Illustrator for Finetuning the PDF and also for updating the font.
    this last thing normally goes automatically when opening, Illustrator changes/updates it directly.
    Since today it didn't work, I was frustrated but then I tried downgrading to 27.1 and this did the trick.

    Please can you get this back straight and repair this.

    Thank you.
