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?

Issues
My text is not showing up from even previous projects. Plus if I copy text from other programs, Illustrator just spools and quits.

Fonts not being listed in Illustrator when used in a clipping group with transparency effects
Adobe Illustrator CC 24.3. Windows 10 Pro 1909. OS Build 18363.1082
Converting fonts to outlines did not catch the ones used in a clipping group with transparency effects. The effect was an embossed look. When the fonts weren't activated for the file, the embossed look changed as it substituted a font, but Illustrator gave no warning and no fonts were listed in the "Find Fonts" panel. The font used in the emboss effect was listed when viewed in Acrobat but not Illustrator.

Typography disappears when the text is added on a curved path
This was said to have been fixed in 24.0, but I just updated to 24.3 and had this issue. Any time I use the type on path tool, it appears as though I'm typing (layer name changes) but the text is completely invisible no matter the font size or color and I am unable to highlight the text.

Pasting text into existing type object creates a new object instead
In v24.3 pasting text inside a text box fails, it creates a new text box so all styles need to be re-applied.

Josef Pro font disappears as you type
I am trying to type the word "Communications" in Adobe Illustrator. If I use any other font, it types fine and looks fine. When I use Josef Pro, the "ti" goes missing and only shows "Coomuncaons". When I change from Josef Pro to any other font, I can see the "TI". I tried this is other applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel and this problem does not happen. It's definitely an issue with Illustrator.
Unfortunately, I cannot use another font because our company logo uses this Josef font.

Leaders in Tab
I was using leader with tabs to draw lines. They do not flush evenly to the right in Illustrator 2020 (24.2.3). This feature works in Illustrator 2019 (23.1.1). On a Mac (10.14.6)

Preference settings for Type have changed
Previous versions of Illustrator allowed me to set my preferences for type to this:
Size/Leading = 0.5pts
Baseline shift = 0.5ptsBut in Illustrator cc 2020 v24.2.2 it is no longer possible to do that. This is what I am getting:
Size/Leading = 1pt
Baseline shift = 1ptIt seems like 1pt is now the lowest you can go.

Point Type moving when opening CC2019 AI file in AI2020
MacOs Catalina 10.15.3
CC2019 version 23.1.1
AI2020 version 24.2.1Only seems to occur when the text is aligned to the centre, set as point type and has tracking applied to it.
We have artwork files created in CC2019. When opening one of these files in AI 2020, version 24.2.1 on either Mojave or Catalina, text that is set up with tracking, is point type (instead of area type) and centre aligned shows a significant movement to the right.
As you can see from the attached .gif of the two files, there is one instance where there is no tracking applied…1 vote -
The name of the font & font style aren't refreshed (top bar)
The name of the font & font style aren't refreshed (in the character box of the top bar) When I click on another text element, it keeps the name of the previous font and font style.

Illustrator 24.2 tab stops not working with blank text lines
Tab stops do not function correctly when the text line has no text. We commonly use this for creating underlines. Attached examples show a text field with tab stops. The text lines with characters use the tab stops correctly (spaces do not count). Any text lines without characters cause the tab stops to be one space wide.

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.

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.
