Illustrator keeps switching fonts back to Myriad Pro in mid-document-why, and how do I stop it?

I went out and bought some fonts on my own a few years ago-actually paid for them-but when I try to use them in the latest version of Illustrator, any carriage return will switch back to the default, Myriad Pro. This is pretty infuriating. How can I stop it for good?

Hello everyone,

Our product is aware of the problem and is currently investigating it. Please stay tuned for updates on the UserVoice (https://adobe.ly/40Xoikv)

In the meantime kindly try reverting to Illustrator 29.0.1 and share your observations.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

I found this solution elsewhere but worked for me...... goto Preferences -> Type -> turn off the "Enable Missing Glyph Protection" OFF. That seemed to fix my font reverting issue.

This just now happened to in the, as of writing this, the latest version of Illustrator. Feels like I have a ghost in my computer!

Turning off Missing glyph protection does not help?

That seemded to work, thank you. The problem arose when I added the typeface Metronic Slab Pro Semibold from Adobe fonts.

Estoy teniendo el mismo problema, y tras varias llamadas, a través del chat me han confirmado que es un error ya reportado, pero aún no solucionado.

Esto no pasaba ni con los Mac's en CGA.

Como siempre, la alternativa es bajar a una versión inferior hasta que se solvente.

Pero son demasiado los fallos que siempre muestra la suite día a día.

Turn off Missing Glyph protection in Preferences > Type

al desactivar esa casilla, parece que ahora no cambia de fuente.

Are the fonts you purchased OTF fonts, True Type or Postscript Type 1. If they are PS type 1, they are no longer usable in Illustrator.

For me the problem arose when adding fonts from Adobe fonts.

Set the font upin the Default character style of the document.

Use this document as a template or as a document profile.

Do you mean set up the document in the default font (Myriad Pro), then use that document as a Template, in the AI sense of template, at 50% grey, behind the document I am working on in my preferred typeface? Unfortunately, that won't help because the font I want to use takes up about 2/3 the line height of Myriad. Meaning that 20 lines of my preferred face will end about an inch shy of 20 lines of Myriad Pro. Not much of a template. Same as setting up the doc in Myriad, then using Arial Narrow in the new document. Moreover, Myriad never actually goes away. I can select Arial Narrow, type a line, hit return, and start typing again, and Arial Narrow is gone. Myriad Pro saw an opportunity at the carriage return and took it.

I am referring to AIT files. Please read the doumentation.

Have you tried to set the font you want in the Default character style?
