hello all!

just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with adobe illustrator V29.1.

I type out my copy "Glorify Sans Semi Bold" then change to this font but then after I go back to add or make a correction to the copy and it reverts back to a different font. (serif in the middle that says "what is going on with fonts adobe?" happening on mac & pc both with latest version of ai. super annoying seems to be all files.

It is a test (or a joke) by Adobe to improve our "attention to detail" skills. I had to install the previous version, which is 29.0.1 instead of 29.1. It is solved.

I also have this problem, which is really frustrating.

The font style and type change to something I didn't desire every time I go back to modify my earlier work.

Damn it!

I've the same problem with 29.3 beta. Is there a solution already?

Yes, why?

This bug also affects newly created files in v29.1.

Change the font.
Save and close the file.
Reopen the file.
Change the font again.
Edit the text.

To work around this bug, disable "Enable Missing Glyph Protection."

Same here. Just spent half an hour clearing font caches, restarting, googling, etc. Thanks again, Adobe.

Works as it should in Illustrator 2024.

So far none of the Adobe 2025 updates are usable, soooo many bugs.

Honestly, a bug like this makes Illustrator unusable for me. Stop releasing updates that makes things WORSE.

So glad I'm moving over to Affinity this year.

Which version, which system, which font and a step by stepdescription would be good.

Also: font management?

Does this happen inall files or just one?

New files, old files?

Any third party plugins?

I'm having a similar issue. I had to update all fonts in a file that weren't on my system. However, any of the text that I need to update in the file reverts to the old font wherever I type. Please see the screenshots for an example. It appears that even after using Find/Replace Font feature to update all fonts it's not retaining that change within the text boxes. My default font is Myriad, so it's not anything to do with that. It seems like an error, rather than an overlooked setting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To update on this. The (default) paragraph style can be changed to the correct font, but this can only be applied to individual text boxes, as opposed to being a global change to the file. It still occurs on tect boxes where I've not applied the style. This is not an ideal long-term workaround, but if only a single font is used in each text box then applying a paragraph style is a useful approach until a solution is found.
