You will need to discuss the plugin thing with the manufacturer of that plugin.

As for the fonts: do you use font management? Are they installed "For all users"?

[Andrea e Roberta]

Hi Monika,

yep, the fonts are installed for all users, i supposed that new version have some bugs to fix.

for now i disinstalled the 2023 version back to the 26.5, and all works easly.

thx A.

Hello @Andrea e Roberta,

Sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind trying to install an older version of Illustrator to check if it helps?
Also, kindly share some more information, like the exact version of the OS installed on your computer, so that we can investigate this further.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav

I have the same problem and I only use Font Book for my font management. Is this because Illustrator 2023 is already updated to not support Type 1 fonts?

Most probably.

I can confirm - it appears to be a Type 1 issue. I have just converted a Type 1 font to OpenType and it works fine, plus all other Type 1 fonts on my system are showing as missing when opening Illustrator. Support for Type 1 is not supposed to end until January 2023 - is there a warning to users on CC that this will happen when they download 2023?

It could also be the Operating System.

On my Mac, Type1 fonts are still supported in Illustrator 2023
