   Happy to announce that we have introduced 'Preview Missing Fonts' functionality to improve your experience when working with files that contain unavailable fonts.

   If you open a file with missing fonts, Illustrator will now render the text correctly on the artboard in Preview Mode, even if the fonts are not installed on your system. This ensures the files appear as intended without requiring immediate font installation.

   How does it work?

   1. When you open a file with missing fonts, the Missing Fonts Window will appear, listing fonts that are in Preview Only Mode.

   2. Close the Missing Fonts Window to view the text rendered accurately on the artboard.

   3. You can optionally select the text, go to Objects -> Expand… to convert the text to outlines.

   4. The text in Preview Mode is not editable. If you attempt to edit the text in Preview Mode, a warning will appear, notifying you that continuing will replace the font with a system default font.

   Important Note: This functionality will only work with files that are saved and opened in Illustrator Beta 29.3 20 and above, so make sure you are on the latest version of Illustrator Beta!

   Support for files created with previous versions of Illustrator is under investigation.
