Text wraps differently in Illustrator 2025 compared to previous version
Encountered a very frustrating bug after updating to Illustrator 2025 today and opening an existing file. It turns out that text within type areas wraps slightly differently in this new version, causing overflow errors in several places throughout the document.
The file I discovered this in was created yesterday in Illustrator 28.5.
Interestingly, when I hover the affected text area, the blue preview rendering shows the old, expected wrapping. There is no way to get it back in the actual, rendered text, though.
Zero changes have been made to this file since yesterday—only the Illustrator version has changed. I checked…

Contextual alternates don’t work for Cyrillic letters with Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers
While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.
Take a look at the GIF attached.

Fonts not loading Illustrator 24 v28.6
Running Windows 10, Illustrator 24 v 28.6
I have been trying to upload fonts today... all day on 7 fonts! I have uploaded, installed, removed, updated, rebooted, and reinstalled and rebooted again trying to get the fonts to load.
Of the 7 fonts I needed to install, 6 have uploaded properly. The final one, Bebas, has refused to be recognized. See attached photos. It shows that it is uploaded, installed and even gives an error showing there are duplicates, but the installed font will not open in illustrator 24 v28.6

Menu selection of window stuck after clicking on "Font" without selecting further option
After selecting the menu item "window" → "Font" (without the sub-menu) the menu freezes. No further access to the program possible. After ending the program (OS - option, not program option) the window with the document disappeared (without asking for saving), the menu remained on screen (see screenshot). Only forced ending worked.

Thin space and hair space have wrong widths, compared to InDesign
In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1ptIn Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.…

Font Height settings not working with all-small-cap typefaces
Working in MacOS 13.5.2
Illustrator 27.8.1
When setting type in a Area Type box, the default Font Height is snapping to the x-height of the text, but only when using fonts with small-cap style lowercase letterforms, rather than typical lowercase forms. When using a font with typical lowercase, the Font Height of the box is defaulting to the height of uppercase letters, as expected.
This behavior is happening to fonts installed locally on my system, as well as those activated though Adobe Fonts.
Selecting various settings for the Font Height option in the Character panel does not alter this behavior,…

Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol
As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176
If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.
For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.
Single Replace works fine.

Space on text disapear
Windows 10 OS
Adobe Illustrator (desktop) all updated (27.2)When i use text (type tool), for a single line or a text box, the spaces between the words disapear as i type it. I tried different fonts, different idioms on the text, tried check and uncheck hyphenization and always get the same result.
Is that a configuration ussue that im not aware of? or is it a bug?3 votesThe problem got solved by opening the Justification dialog and reapplying the existing values. This is still a bug though, please vote if you meet the same problem.

Vertical Type Tool Not Working Properly
(See Image for reference)
When using the vertical type tool, it used to make a word have the letters stacked over each other. (like in column 'B) Now when you click with the Vertical Type Tool to type anything, it appears as image 'A'. I do not think its supposed to look like a word that has just been rotated 90 degrees? (like in column 'C')3 votes -
Create Outline changed text frame (with text only) to coloured block
macOS Ventura, Illustrator 27.0.1
I have several documents with texts in frames and texts as 'loose'/text area. But as soon as everything is converted to letter contours, some text frames change into colored blocks. In the example file it concerns a Google font, but it also happens with Adobe CC fonts, the problem seems to have to do with the text frames, see the example file.

When checking spelling, Illustrator does not move to the selected area of the page making it harder to see the "error" in context.
Have the viewable are move to the offending spelling like it does with InDesign.
