Illustrator 30.3 - Typeface font manager auto-activation not working

The new 30.3 update for Mac introduced "improved font handling in Illustrator (macOS) for better consistency and reduced reliance on unsupported system resources"

However, this seems to have broken auto font activation with the Typeface font manager.

Is there a way to get this fixed?

Thanks!

Hello @leighr

Thanks for reaching out. Could you confirm the OS version installed and check whether the problem persists after reinstalling the font manager so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi! I’m on macOS 26.4. I’ve uninstalled and resinstalled Typeface with the same result. Reverting back to Illustrator 30.2.1 works perfectly.

The developer of Typeface also talked about the issue on UserVoice: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/51151570-illustrator-30-3-font-handling-issue
