    The issue is believed to be fixed in the latest Beta build and is expected to be pushed into the Global Availability build at the end of July.


    To ensure this indeed fixes the problem, please install the latest Beta build from CCD app and try to reproduce it, following the steps provided by Ton in a comment within the report.


    Please reply back if Beta works for you or not.

    A workaround while this is not fixed is to select the text on path object, move it with arrow key, outline the text and then move it back to the right position.

    Please add option to enable Font preview on Find Font not just in preferences

    I believe it's worse when the the fonts are compressed and ultra condensed that you just can't read it.

    And it would be good if we could also type the whole font name to faster locate the font we want in the system and not just the first letter.

    While we wait for this change, we can use a script to save the file in the desired PDF preset.

    Just save a JSX file with this code:

    function saveAsPDF() {
    var pdfFile = new File(app.activeDocument.path + "/" + app.activeDocument.name.split('.')[0] + '.pdf');
    var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
    pdfOptions.pDFPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]"; //insert the preset name as it's written in Illustrator
    app.activeDocument.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfOptions);
    }
    saveAsPDF()

    Then run the script by adding it to your Illustrator scripts folder or other methods like AutoHotKey, drag and drop... I use Streamdeck to run it.

    To not have the warning every time you try to run the script, create this single time use script:

    #target illustrator

    app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);

    Illustrator Beta 29.2.10 now supports Nonbreaking space (U+00A0).

    It can also be added with Type > Insert WhiteSpace Character > Nonbreaking Space command.

    Please try this build and see if it works for you as expected.

    My sincere congratulations to everyone. This symbol means a lot!

    While we wait for Adobe to fix this, I use a simple scripts to enable and disable "no break". I assigned a shortcut to it with AutoHotkey

    #target illustrator

    var nobreak = app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak
    app.selection.characterAttributes.kerningMethod = AutoKernType.METRICSROMANONLY

    if (nobreak == false){
    app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak = true;
    } else {app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak = false;}

    3. Works fine in Overprint Preview
    4. Works fine in Print & PDF

    Please confirm above observation match with the problem reported in this issue
