Cannot activate new fonts
I'm using Illustrator 24.1.2 with a creative cloud student subscription on Mac OS Catalina. When I try to activate any font not installed locally, the activation process will go on for five minutes, then terminate itself. No font would be installed. I Googled around for similar problems, and many suggested looking at the "Font" tab of the creative cloud app. I don't have that tab. The only tab in my creative cloud app is "Apps".

Text element with multiple paragraph styles & colors turns white when adding used colors
I have a text element with two paragraphs and have assigned a style to each paragraph. One paragraph style is a different color, for emphasis.
When I go to Swatches (palette) > Add Used Colors, all of the text turns white (invisible against a white artboard) and a swatch named "K=0" is added to the swatches palette. This can be avoided by setting all Paragraph Styles to black or no color and using Character Styles to apply color, but that's not really how the styles are supposed to work.
If the paragraph and character styles ever are fully functional in…

Font Sample Halt
Hi,
I'm frustrated that as I run down my list of fonts testing them on a specimen of type that the font scroll halts for no apparent reason, forcing me to use the down arrow and manually select the font I want to try the specimen on.

Text in opened SVG is wrong size and outside artboard in v23.1 and v24.0.2
In newer versions of Illustrator (23.1 and 24.0.2, for example) the text in our SVG files may appear at the wrong size and outside the artboard. This incorrect text commonly appears at the top-left.
The ZIP file contains a problem SVG, a preview JPG of how it should appear, and any customer-provided files used in the design.
Also attached are copies of each version's System Info readouts and a screenshot of a problem design open in AI 24.0.2.

Type tool not working properly
Running Windows 10 and Ai version 24.0.2
Trying to hit a return between words in a text sentence, neither the backspace or delete or enter work. No it's not a keyboard issue, since it works with any other program without a problem. This bug is also happening to several machines in the work place consistently. We need to close the whole application so it responds to this text command issue, but after having the document open for a little time it does it again.
I expect to be able to edit my text... this is a big one...1 vote -
Character styles do not allow for optical alignments and kerning
Paragraph style applied to text area does not allow for optical margin alignment.
Not sure why this is happening but one paragraph style will let me kern punctuation outside of the box, and then another one will not. Instead, the character styles flicker around as I kern and will not change.
Converting the paragraph style to another one fixes this issue - but reappears when I apply the intended style.
Mac OSX Catalina.

Big problem with 'Horizontal Align Center' bug fix
Windows 7 64bit professional service pack 1,
Illustrator CC 23.0.6.The recent fix for "The 'Horizontal Align Center' option does not align text with the center of object if text has tracking applied on it" in version 23.1 is causing all of our files, tens of thousands of documents, to display incorrectly when you open them, shifting text automatically. We need to be able to turn off this "fix" in settings or something please. We produce scale rules and navigational equipment etc. and almost every one of our files is incorrect if we upgrade to 23.1! We are stuck on…

text expands inaccurately
Mac OS 10.13.6 AI 23.1.1
See att screenshot. I converted this type to outlines, then Expanded Appearance, then Expanded stroke and fill. Results are superimposed over the original red/orange type. You can that the converted outline does not match the type; in general the top is pushed rightward and the bottom leftward. I tried skewing the outline to correct it but while that may nudge some curves and vertices back to where they belong, it pushes others out. The only solution I know is to tweak and/or redraw the path, which is an extremely time-consuming task. It appears that this…1 vote
