  2. Area-Type error when spaning over multiple pages

    Using a W10 pro with the last version of Adobe CC Illustrator.

    Steps:

    I have a small brochure that has some articles. I use area-type and there are some artciles that span over multiple pages. I format my text: font Myriad Regular 12pt, with fist-line indent 14pt and text alignement justify with last lign aligned left.
    In the case that the sentence splits at the end of the page, and continues on the next page, the rest of the sentence is shown with first-line indent (and it shouldn't). When selecting the text, the selection it shows you that there is…

  3. Adobe AI CC Fonts error question

    We recently encountered a "severe error" regarding FONT problem in Illustrator CC.

    There are TWO symptoms all regarding using MonoType Chinese Fonts(OpenType Embeddable Fonts) :

    1. Fonts size automatically decreased once we change the style, e.g. Regular > Bold.
    2. Fonts inside the "Cloud Assets" will automatically decrease its size randomly once we "Embedded" the assets.

    This error occurs probably after the update of AI CC 2021.25.105 (or maybe 1 or 2 versions prior not assure)

    Please investigate and revert us the solutions.

    Many thanks.

    (Attached are the screenshots of the errors)

  4. Cannot select objects near text object

    This is a bug and not an idea.

    I cannot seem to select object that are behind a text object, such as the black rectangle in this example. The blue line indicates the edge of the type area.

  5. Justification, distance inter-mots

    macOS 10.14.6. Illustrator 25.1

    Quand une ligne de texte ne comporte que des chiffres (ex : numéro de téléphone), la distance inter-mot est toujours à 100% et ne reflète pas les réglages d'espacement du panneau paragraphe/justification.
    Il suffit d'ajouter une lettre en début ou en fin de ligne pour que le réglage soit pris en compte.

  7. Multiple Bugs in Illustrator_Mac Os Catalina 10.15.7

    I'm reporting all of these bugs I'm considering asking for a refund my money back for the last months CC Subscription as it the software has been that unreliable.

    Illustrator

    Align function not working, can't align 3 pieces of text to baseline it leaves the 1st piece if text completely out off the alignment. I tried cutting and pasting the piece of text but still it will not align.

    Strokes not showing properly round on curves they appear to have extra anchor points, which there aren't when you inspect It closer. This is making simple curves look off.

    Shortcuts not…

  8. Expanding in RTL removes numbers

    After Illustrator 23.01,
    When expanding Right-To-Left text boxes,
    all the numbers are removed.

    See attached video.
    (the numbers also don't get selected with "select all")

    I'm on Windows 10, but something similar seems to happen on Mac:

  10. The list of available fonts is not displaying correctly, typekit not visible as well

    This is what I'm getting when opening the search for fonts. I don't see any usable list of fonts nor the typekit options .

    What could be the reason for such illustrator behavior?

  11. Icon font shows Tofu

    I created a font with emoji. I installed it in the Application support/Adobe/Fonts folder as I do with all fonts I test. Emoji characters like duck show two Tofu characters, although in the glyphs panel it is displayed correctly, please see attached screenshot.

    In all other applications, the character can be displayed.

  13. Font Activation Not working in Illustrator 2020

    I have repeatedly tried to activate fonts from Adobe Type with no success. It keeps showing as Activating. When I go to fonts.adobe.com it shows that the font is activated (Good Times Ultra Light) in the browser but in Illustrator it never shows the cloud with the checkmark. I have rebooted but still the same issue.

  16. Can't see the fint size in the type panel

    Hi, I work in publishing so I need to see the font size in the top bar but all I can see in illustrator 2020 is the stroke size when I choose the T tool. When I watch tutorials I can see they have the type bar across the top but all I have is the character window which is very cumbersome when I need to constantly change the font size. Can you tell me how I can see that type bar? Is it something simple because I just can't figure out how?
