Question

Fonts are not showing when opening file, shows fine in preview

Illustrator 29.7.1

 

In some recent update, fonts are not being rendered in my art.   The layer that contained the fonts are still there, but everything is gone.   This was working fine ~6/2025 with no changes to the files.

 

In the preview landing page of illustrator, all the same docs are still showing the rendered text without a problem.    Please fix this bug ASAP!

Estou tendo o melhor problema: mesmo com as fontes instaladas o illustrator não reconhece. Tive que instalar uma versão anterior para resolver o problema até solucionarem isso, pois parece que muitos estão tendo esse problema com as fontes.

@Anubhav M - I've been seeing reports of this on reddit recently.  Problem is still happening on 29.8.1. Still available to live debug / troubleshooting per DM.  Let me know.

Where do you save your files, is it a local .ai file or a cloud doc: .aic?

Files are saved locally (.AI file)

There were some mentions lately with cloud files. And these are real live fonts, not converted to outlines?
