Illustrator cs6 is very slow when I writting text in Mojave!

I had Adobe CS4 and CS6 programs in High Sierra, and it worked perfectly. Then, I bought a Mac with Mojave, and I installed the CS4 and CS6. The CS4 works perfectly in Mojave, and the CS6 also works, except Illustrator CS6. When I'm going to write text in Illustrator CS6, it slows down and takes a long time to respond. When the size of the letter is larger, it slows down much more. It could be a problem of font rendering.

I don't understand why the CS4 works perfectly in Mojave, and the CS6 doesn't work. Also, when I turn off the Illustrator CS6, it gives an error (attached images).

Indesign and Photoshop CS6 works perfectly, only Illustrator CS6 is very slow.

I would use Illustrator CS4, but I have many files saved in CS6, and I can not open them in CS4. That's why I need the Illustrator CS6.

I have tried to update Java, delete the preferences, uninstall all fonts, reinstall CS6 ... and it does not work.

Someone could help me?

Thank you.

CS6 is officially supported until system 10.9

CS4 is officially supported until 10.5.4

Older versions of Adobe Illustrator system requirements

So you're using it beyond what's supported. Judging from other threads it's a miracle that it runs at all, let alone can be installed.

You could check if corrupt fonts are interfering, or PostScript fonts (which are not supported by Mac OS anymore) or font management (do you use it?) is not compatible.

Did you already turn off the dictation feature in Mac OS?

The lag is definitely gone on my Mac after updating to 10.14.5. Illustrator CS6 runs smooth as ever, yay!

Unfortunately CS6 isn't supported on anything later than El Capitan. You're out of luck unless someone out there who has found a workaround happens to pass by. Do you still have your High Sierra machine?

Hello. For different problems I have to change my computer. I can use the High Sierra a few days, but not for long.

What I do not understand is why the CS4 does work.

We neither.

On the forums we don't know how the insides work.

Hi. I uninstalled all fonts (except the fonts needed by the OS), and the dictation function is also disabled, and it still doesn't work. I will continue testing. Thank you
