Google Material Icons font has stopped working in Illustrator

Question

I have had Google's Material Icons font installed on my MacBook for a long while and have frequently used it with no problems in Illustrator. Suddenly it has stopped rendering. The font is not missing – and it still works in other Adobe apps – but it displays without any visibility (see text selected in screenshot).

But that's exactly how they do work (or did, until yesterday)! And they continue to work like that in XD, for example: https://streamable.com/59cgy0

I learned something new!

Type wifi and you get the wifi icon!

So that works for me in 2021 (25.0).

But I put the font into the Illustrator application folder in a folder I named Fonts, maybe that makes a diffrence.

Or try to reset the AI preferences:
