Hello everyone!

I'm having an annoing issue. I can't change the font weigth. It appears blocked. I made a lot of things: reinstall Animate, come back to default settings... etc and I still can't.

I'm working actively in Animate and I am having to create texts in Illustrator and copy-paste them in Animate, but I have to do it everytime I have to make a minimum change.

Please help!!!

    Hi All 

    Just wanted to let you know that this issue has been addressed in the latest update (20.0.2.22168) that we have pushed today. Please update your copy of Animate to the latest to avail the fix.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    We have heard this issue from couple of users who have updated to Catalina from previous Mac OS versions. We have no luck yet reproducing this in-house as this doesn’t seems to happen with OS update every time. We are still actively investigating the cause of this issue.

    In the meantime couple of users have confirmed that updating Catalina to the latest or Installing Catalina a fresh(not an update on top of the older Mac OS version) help resolve this issue. Could you please try this and see if that helps?

     

    Thanks!

    Mohan

    I am having the same issue. Updated now and it didn't help. Still the same thing, I cannot choose the font's weight.

    Pleeease Adobe! You've got so much time to fix this. Offer us a solution soon, please. It's very hard and time consuming to work this way.

    I have the same issue - Catalina OS, iMac, no font weights available in Adobe Animate.  Thank you for writing this up and please we need this fixed asap.

    I've talked with technical support and they told me it is a known issue happening with Catalina SO so I have to wait until they solve it.

    Hope can help to anyone having the same issue.

    Oops! You are right. I can't change font style directly again. This morning I did it but now I can't do it again. I thing it was a copied text from Illustrator, but I'm not sure. Sorry...


    Copying from Illustrator does not work. I have exported PNGs from Photoshop for text. Hopefully this will not increase my file size too much. Adobe needs to get this resolved.

    Are you saying you can't select bold in ANY font? Does the problem exist in both AS3 and Canvas documents? Does the keyboard shortcut for bold also not work?

    Yes sure. No font at all. Not bold, nor italic, black, narrow... etc

    Because none of the solutions here have helped, and no one was able to reproduce your issue, I suggest getting in touch with our tech support team https://adobe.ly/2WYE62m for further investigation.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi.

     

    It's working for me in both 2019 and 2020 versions.

     

    So it might be a bug related to your installation and/or OS and/or device.

     

    Please submit this issue here:

    Thank you very much JoãoCésar. I have already done. 

    I think it's possible not to be a bug, but an option to block the select box and I pressed a keyboard shortcut to it without knowing or something similar, because it started before any software update. It was spontaneous.

    Is this related to Animate 2020, did it work in Animate 2019?

    No, it didn't work in Animate 2019. In fact I updated the version this morning and I was hopping it would be solved, but it didn't.
