Illustrator no longer updating when new fonts added, without restarting.

[Rhoobarb2005]

Not sure if this is a bug, or if it has been removed. But while loaded, Illustrator no longer seems to update the fonts list, if a new font is installed. Meaning a restart of Illustrator is necessary, if you want the newly installed fonts to show.

It used to do it, but now it needs a restart.

We have a fix for this going in the MAX release (end of October). Please try on the main build after that and confirm.

Do you though? How could you break such a basic feature in the first place? Now we have to keep restarting the program just to access a font which might now even work in a design? Perhaps it's time Adobe redirected their focus on the fudentals of design rather than AI generation.

This is also an issue for me on version 29.8.2, I tried to roll back to 29.8.1 but that didn't fix it. I then rolled back all the way to 28.7.10 and it works again.

I've been experiencing the same problem since the last update. It's really annoying. Hope Adobe fixes it soon.

Yes as of today i still need to restart illustrator everytime i install a font into the system. particularly problematic whent trying to create fonts and test them

I have experienced the same issue, and it’s quite frustrating. I had to roll back to version 28.7.10 to get things working again. Hopefully, this can be addressed in an upcoming update.

I'm having the same issue. Version 29.8.2 updated 14 days ago.

illustrator needs restart after font install

[ChaosMahdi]

Yeah i have noticed that as well and its frustrating.
It was much smoother before; I had to reboot the program mid-work just to update the new font

 i hope the fix this
