Question

Missing System Fonts in Illustrator

There is an issue within Illustrator where a specific system font is missing from the MacOS. After a bit of testing, the font is functional in every other adobe software and text applications except for Illustrator. To be more specific, it has the regular font, but not the variables. It happened pretty suddenly and I’ve tried a few troubleshooting options, but I have not found anything as of yet. I would appreciate any help to prevent further problems down the line or at least know how to fix it if it arises again.

    Hi ​@ambitious_Coconutcebc,

    We are sorry for the delayed response. Would you mind telling us the name of the font? Is it a specific font or all System fonts? It would be helpful if you could share a short recording of the issue for better understanding. 

    Please also share the version of Illustrator installed on your machine and the details of your macOS machine. 

    We will try our best to help.

    Thanks,

    Harshika
