font changing while typing happening on mac & pc adobe illustrator 29.1

[Nicole Mac.]

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.

No problem, you are very welcome. It was driving me NUTS.

Mamma mia... thank you so much, man. Just did it, works great.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!  We were going CRAZY here.  Big thanks.   = )   It's like playing Whack-a-mole with these bugs...  Now to figure out why sometimes when we select things, Illustrator will pare it with a random unselected item across the page like they are grouped, and makes you close the file and reopen before it lets go...

[G_Man]

Wow - I am SO pleased to know I'm not the only person who has experienced the unfathomable random selction and grouping of objects across the artboard. It's been happening to me for years actually. Any idea if there is a post some place about this one? Thank you!

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

[Monika Gause]

Have you read the complete thread?

[Robin @ Silly]

Yes, why? 

[Robin @ Silly]

If you wish further informations, it's basically the same as described here already: 
System: MB M1 Pro, OS 15.1.1, no additional font management

The bug appears with 29.3 beta, all AI files and all fonts affected, with no character or paragraph styles 
It disappears by disabling "Enable Missing Glyph Protection"

[Monika Gause]

Disablig missing glyph protection is the current workaround. Everything else will be discussed in Uservoice.

[SMARTSON]

Tank you @Monika Gause  ! It works !!!

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!

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.

Hello!

Me too, when I use pipette.

[zimi creative]

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

This worked for me, as per the answers below. 

[SMARTSON]

Perfect !!! it works on version 29.1  !!!
Thank you so much ... you can send your CV to ADOBE HR departement !!!

Can you solve it by disabling Missing Glyph protection in the Preferences?

[G_Man]

Thanks Monica, yes - that works for me. 

[Tavbrigina]

Same issue. This is annoying, I need double time to get work done. Any solutions?

[G_Man]

Hi there. Go to Preferences > Type >  Disable Missing Glyph Protection. Works for the rest of us. 💪

[RichardPortman7496]

SO frustrating and such a basic error. Come on Adobe, chop chop with the update to fix it.

I have the same issue on Windows. The font i selected when i started the new document became the default font in Ilustrator and when i select another font and started typing, strangely it started in that default font
