  1. All Typekit fonts unavailable

    All of a sudden Typekit stopped working through Illustrator/Photoshop. I cannot open the CC app on my desktop either. I cannot uninstall it nor reinstall it as none of these functions will work. I am effectively frozen out of my desktop CC app and typekit. When I access Typekit via the webpage it shows my snyced fonts but I cannot access them on my desktop (PC). I am unable to complete my work. I have been troubleshooting this since Monday and would like to talk one on one with someone who can talk me through what to do. I am…

  2. Variable font remains static

    I've been working on various variable fonts, which, while there are sometimes are some GPU rendering issues in Illustrator, work as expected.

    However, my last creation remains static while changing the variable (see example). The font variation works perfectly in online environments, it's only in Adobe apps that this seems to be an issue.

    Using version 22.1

  3. CC2018

    1. Illustrator CC2018
    2. Editing existing type.
    3. The ability to actually see what I'm typing.
    4. Almost always there is no text refresh when editing text. You have to drag the text or otherwise alter it so that Illustrator is forced to refresh so you can see changes you make.

    I'm using a new iMac Pro High Sierra. Please fix the bug!

  7. Wrapping text causes font changes and misalignment of text lines

    When I wrap text around a picture, the font completely changes and the text lines become offset from the actual text, making it impossible to edit text.

  11. Since the recent update, some fonts randomly deactivate in both Illustrator and Indesign. Also when typing a font name in the search box of

    Since the recent update (Dec2017), some fonts randomly deactivate approx every half an hour, in both Illustrator and Indesign. Also when typing a font name in the search area of the type window, the letters jumble around making it impossible to search and jump directly to the font I want - it's incredibly frustrating and time wasting.
    Can you please tell me how to fix this bug

  12. Font Suggestion and Cursor misbehaving

    I'm already feeling a lot of regret for updating to CC 2018!
    Now anytime I want to change a font, and I start typing in the name, no suggestions come up. Sometimes, the cursor jumps backwards and start inserting characters midway. I feel frustrated and fed up.

    Hi Love,

    Looks like your setting is set to “Search First work only”. Click on the search icon and from the drop down select “Search Entire Font Name”

  14. Can’t use kerning between two characters with Cintiq plugged in

    I can’t use the "kerning between two letters" in the Character panel when working on my Imac with Cintiq plugged in. This part of the Character panel is set to "Auto". The pop up with "metric" and "optical" is not showing up. I can kern between two characters manually, but would like to set a whole word to "optical". The bug disappears when I am plugging off my Cintiq and working with the mouse on my Imac. Horrible. Fix this.

  15. Kerning Font Characters (Letters) Causes Cursor to Jump Around

    While kerning letters in a statement, each time I press the up arrow to give more space or to press the down arrow to shrink space between letters, the cursor jumps to the second line in some random spot. I have to move the cursor back each time I press the up arrow and down arrow. This is definitely a bug.

  20. Distorted Rotated text in an "Envelope"

    Rotating text that is within an "Envelope" shape distorts the text. It shouldn't.
