Hi,

I am using a font (Symbol) for making a graph in illustrator. Sometime the font looks like italic without italic  family and without shear sometime it looks regular. Is there any hidden setting for this please suggest.

Here is a screen shot for refferance.

 

Thanks,

Wilson

I agree with Mylenium, look in your Appearance Panel.

 

Here, I’m working with live text, Symbol font.

For the Cyan one, I could recreate a similar look of shear/italics.

 

I did that by switching to the Selection Tool, Added a new Fill of cyan and then Effect>Distort>Free Distort.

Another place to check is in your Layer Panel and again in your Appearance Panel.

Look for a colored meatball. That is a signal something has been assigned to that Path, Group or Layer.

What does your text look like in View>Preview vs View>Outline???

Start by checking your glyph substitution options in the text panels. Also check for text styles being applied and other stuff in the appearance palette.
