My Illustrator has been updated to version 29.8.1, and the text in text boxes (using Chinese fonts) is experiencing issues like missing characters and overlapping. This problem did not occur in version 29.7.1.

App installs and updates

Hello @martin_lui,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Could you share a link to a sample AI file along with screenshots of the trouble you're having so we can better assist you? Also, try installing an earlier version of Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/4nxEHnv) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
