Fonts changing by themselves

My department is having issues in Illustrator CC with fonts changing to the default on their own. It seems to be happening on older files. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Yes of course, this usually happens with font conflicts and more often with the old type 1 fonts.

    Can we see a screenshot your find fonts menu so we can see which ones you are using. The one with lowercase a icon are type 1, and I would recommend to replace them with TT or OT fonts which are much more stable.

    Good practice when posting this type of question to let us know:

    • your operating system
    • if you use a font manager
    • what exact font you are having trouble with

    so we can give you feedback about resetting your font cache.

    We have so many fonts, type one, postscript and open fonts

    We have had the CC version of Illustrator for a few months when we installed windows 10

    This little diddy just started to happen a week or so ago

    We do not have a font manager

    PostScript fonts are a hundred years old and the format causes issues. You will need to update them to OpenType
