hello all!

 

just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with adobe illustrator V29.1. Screenshot 2024-11-18 at 11.36.34 AM.png

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 matter what font is selected, it always changes when I'm typing to "Filmotype La Crosse". However disabling "Enable Missing Glyph Protection" in the type settings has worked for me. Thank you very much!

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...

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!

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"

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

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.

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