Installed a Frutiger LT Pro font family and now there is a strange bug in the font search and replace window (which is anyway so horrible to work with). The names of the different fonts get displayed right in the font panel.

But they get absolutely mixed up in the font search and replace window (e.g. Frutiger LT Pro 45 Light Bold (!)) which should be Frutiger LT Pro 65 bold. Any idea how to fix that?

Linotype itself confirmed the bug with the font, but did not clearify which side was the responible for this bug. As it's one their most selled fonts, I still guess it's an Illustrator issue.

My first thought is to purge your font caches. Then your Illustrator pref if that doesn't help. What System are you running and are you using a font manager other than Font Book?

Does the same thing occur in InDesign? or any other app?

Where did you purchase your fonts?

I'm quite sure it is an Illustrator bug.
It's only related to Illustrator and limited only to the search and replace functionality, as you can see in the pictures. Fonts are from Linotype, system is Monterey and font manager is from Lynotype, too. I purged all caches and prefs with no change.

Hi @uesix this seems to be a bug on your specific system.

I also have Monterey and Illustrator 2023 on Mac and do not experience the same issue when searching.

You should try resetting your Illustrator preferences (Preferences/General) as @Brad @ Roaring Mouse suggested.
