    When can we expect a proper fix for this Adobe? You've known about this issue for 6 weeks now -- since October 30, 2024. How long do you plan to keep this fix in beta testing? This issue affects any and all text created in previous versions of Illustrator. This is a critical issue that thousands of professionals rely on to work properly. Adobe's lack of communication and dragging their feet on this issue just goes to show how out of touch and tone deaf you really are.

    I am having the exact same issue since updating to Illustrator v29.1. This bug does not seem to affect newly created files in v29.1, only files created using previous versions of Illustrator. When I open an Illustrator file (created before v29.1) and change a font and then edit the text, Illustrator keeps changing the font back to whatever it was the last time the file was saved before upgrading to v29.1 — every single time.

    Here is a list of scenarios I have already tested:
    1. This affects all files created before v29.1
    2. This affects all files created before v29.1 and then saved after v29.1
    3. This affects all files created before v29.1 and then saved as a new file after v29.1
    4. This affects all files created before v29.1 even when the text is copy-and-pasted into a new file created after v29.1
    5. Does not seem to affect new files created after v29.1

    As you can imagine, this wastes an incredible amount of time —having to undo these font changes every time I need to edit some text. As suggested by @monokano, if I disable "Missing Glyph Protection" in the settings panel, the problem seems to go away. When I enable "Missing Glyph Protection," the problem comes back.

    I am running an iMac (3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 32 GB RAM) on macOS Ventura 13.7.1.

    Recommendations?
