arabic font issue

[mina24796187svav]

Hello everyone, I had a problem while working on Arabic text with AF-Najed font, I created the main file on windows and then I bought a new Mac then I installed the same version of Illustrator and here the problem appeared that the program reads the font strangely incomprehensible I tried to install different versions program, and the problem was not resolved

Do you have the same font installed on the Mac?

yes

Hello @mina24796187svav,

Sorry to hear about this experience. As pointed out by Doug, you will need to copy the font file from the old computer and install it on your macOS computer for it to work in Illustrator.

Please update this thread if the issue persists or if you need further assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Anubhav
