Font Title Not Displaying in Character Panel > Font Menu

Just updated to OS X Yosemite and noticed that the font titles don't display in the Character Panel > Font Menu.  However, they do display when rolled over with the cursor.  This is only happening in Illustrator.  All other Adobe apps are correctly displaying font titles.  Anyone else having this problem?

Using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 / Mac OS X Yosemite

Report back if this works and pass it on if it does--it worked for me the moment I hit the checkbox.

Na nova versão do illustrator (2021) você encontrará aqui "Window > Type > Character Panel".

fonts, björn,

Have you reinstalled CS5 after upgrading to Yosemite?

If the issue persists, I am afraid there are quite a few mismatches between Yosemite and multiple versions of Illy, so I believe the sorting is for Apple rather than Adobe.

Hi Jacob,

I have not yet tried re-installing CS5 after the Yosemite upgrade but if all else fails, that's probably the only way to go.

Other applications in the Suite, like Indesign, works just fine, as it should; only Illustrator being stubborn

Exactly the same problem for me too since updating to Mac OS X Yosemite earlier today.

Just as per previous post, this problem only occurs in Illustrator; not in any other application from the Suite.

Adobe Illustrator 15.0.2 & Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10

Try and check "Show Font names in English" in Preferences > Type.

Thanks for the advice Monika.

I tried your suggestion but it was of little use, the problem still persists.

Might be as Jacob said, a reinstallation of all the software is the only way to go?
