フォントの表示がおかしい
本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている(数値は0なのに)。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。4 votes -

Bug - Cannot access Hands on tutorials
I was doing the hands on tutorials and then I loaded into the app and the section for them was gone in my tutorials tab. I found the webpage online that allows me to launch hands on tutorials from browser https://www.adobe.com/learn/illustrator?tutorialType=inApp&learnIn=1 and it leads to the screenshot provided. I would love to be able to continue doing the hands on tutorials. I ensured that I have no VPN installed, I updated graphics drivers, and reinstalled Illustrator to no avail.

Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used
Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors,…4 votesHi Everyone,

Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update
I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.
When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.
Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.
Thank you for…

Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)
When an object with a gradient is rotated manually using the bounding box (corner handles), the gradient does not rotate with the object.
However, using the Rotate tool or Object > Transform > Rotate results in correct gradient behavior.This silent inconsistency leads to invisible errors in print output — especially in professional workflows.
🧪 The bug was tested on multiple Illustrator versions, macOS and Windows, fresh installs, and clean preference files. It is reproducible.

Upon reopening Ai files, it shows that fonts are missing when they aren't
To fix the "error" I have to navigate to Adobe fonts, uninstall each font one by one, as uninstalling a font family all at once doesn't fix the issue, then individually reinstall each font. Super tedious and taxing to workflow. Issue is across multiple files, all that I have created on the same device that presents the "missing font" dialogue so I know it isn't a file issue. Please fix.

[ExtendScript] Cannot set TextRange.justification to value in ParagraphStyle
We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.
For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.
(Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new document
2. Run the below scriptExpected Result: all tests passed and no alert message appears.
Actual result: Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.

Warning message for over 15 years "This file has been modified outside of Illustrator"
There needs to be a way to disable this warning message. I have only seen this error in Illustrator, and it has been around for over 15 years with no solid solution. It appears to be related to file timestamps, but when a user is working on a file, saved on a file server, and they are the ONLY one who has access to the file, this error should NEVER appear. This error appears for Windows or Mac users, saving files on either a network or cloud storage location. So far, Adobe's solution is "just save the file locally". This…

Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles
This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.

HEX Franklin Variable Font is Not Visible when Editing
I am on a Mac running Illustrator 29.4. I am trying to use the variable OTF version of HEX Franklin, and all Adobe apps do not render the letterforms. When I try to select the variable font in the dropdown, it just defaults back to Myriad or the default typeface.
Other variable fonts work as intended, but specifically, this one is broken. Any possible fix?

The feature doesn't work correctly with tints for global colors.

Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.
