Question

The displayed font size is significantly different than the actual font size. This is a bug in 30.6

Just sharing another annoying thing about Illustrator. The solution was to delete this line of text and copy over a correctly sized string. I’m one version back because 30.7 created a nightmare of memory issues. I will not try to update until we move past 30.7, and even then, it will be with great trepidation, as I’ve lost entire days to nightmare issues that crop up with new updates.

    Hi JodyRadzik37240164,

    Thank you for reaching out and reporting the issue. We understand how annoying it can be to be stuck while working. Would you mind checking if you see any updates under the Creative Cloud Desktop app for Illustrator?

    Does the issue happen with this specific file or all files? Please share the details of your operating system.


    We will try our best to help you.


    Thanks,
    Harshika

    Hi Harshika. After trying to duplicate the issue with other fonts, it appears that the problem only arises with this particular font. Thanks for trying to help, but I think it’s not actually an Illustrator problem. Sorry for the fire drill.

    We would be happy to help.


    Thank you,

    The worst thing about my otherwise excellent job is having no other choice than to use Adobe Illustrator.
