Hello,

Im am still using an illustrator cs6 version on my mac (mojave).

Since the update of OS i have problems with my fonts.

When i type in illustrator the text is coming really slow, i had the same issue in photoshop.

After cleaning my font cash on my mac, the the problem i gone in photoshop, but still exist in illustrator.

This is the only issue i have after updating my mac.

Is there a solution for this?

You have updated your system beyond compatiblity.

You want to continue using Illustrator CS6? Fine, but just don't update your system beyond what works. Officially El Capitan is the last supported system.

I was hoping that this issue could have been caused by an OS bug that Apple fixed. The lag is definitely gone on my Mac after updating to 10.14.5. Illustrator CS6 runs smooth as ever, yay! Not sure if it may have been fixed in an earlier update though, I haven't been doing much work in Illustrator lately.

On my computer, I think it may be due to the window view setting. When I have the window set in the application frame, I find the typing lag to be much worse than if the window is not set in the application frame.

I also found that when I logged into a guest account, there was no lag when typing. On my guest account, it was defaulted to having the window set out of the the application frame, but when I set it in the application frame, there was a lag in typing again.

There are other people in my lab that have indicated they have not had this problem after updating to Mojave, so this may be anecdotal and isn't really a solution because I don't like having the window out of the application frame. However, it has seemed to work for me thus far, so it might be worth giving it a try.
