Dear All,

 

I have faced the arabic text "%" symbol issue at 28.4 version. But the 25.4.8 version worked fine. Screenshot attached for your easy understanding. Please check and advise.

@Zaid Al Hilali 

You mentioned option not available in my illustrator. Please advise.

 


The option(s) I mentioned is available in the Middle Eastern version of Illustrator as I mentioned above. If you're interested, you can download and install that particular version to access more RTL controls.

 

Here are the steps which you may take in order to have another copy of Illustrator on your machine…

1. In your Adobe Creative Cloud application, access your account found on the top-right corner.

2. In the pop-up window (your account) click the "Apps" option on the left pane

3. Choose "English يدعم العربية" in order to download a copy of Illustrator with more Arabic support options. Click "Done" button.

4. Click on the three elipses, from the drop-list

5. Choose any of the older versions available. Note, you cannot install the same version which exists already on your machine, that's why you need to choose even a little older copy from the list.

 

6. Click "Install" for the version you've selected.

In Illustrator version 28.4.1 (Middle Eastern version) I typed the sentence you displayed above, and was able to acheive the same result you showed in the older Ai version. 

 

Check below Character Panel settings, I hope it helps…

Hi Giri,

I do use the Middle Eastern version of Illustrator in order to have as much control to the Right-to-Left (RTL) options.

The option I'm using is found in the Character panel …

As you can see the Percentage symbol % shown in the screenshot may appear on the right or left depends on your selection.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to Adobe Illustrator for you.

Can you tell us which Adobe app you are using? I've ruled out Photoshop and Illustrator because neither is 25.4.8.

 

  • The current version of Photoshop 2024 (desktop) is 25.7
  • The latest/most current version of Adobe Illustrator on the desktop is the March 2024 release, version 28.4.1
