Exactly now same thing happening to my Adobe Illustrator 2022. When I am sending the report to Adobe, they are automatically redirecting me to open Creative Cloud app and provided solution is to download latest version which is already installed in my system and I am using that as well. I delibarately kept 2022 version to use few Arabic AXT fonts as you know from 2023 version onwards adobe is not providing support to Axt fonts. The issue is I never encountered such error for 2022 version, unfortunately today I faced this and I am no longer able to use 2022 Illustrator. If I open any file with AXT fonts its getting changed in latest Ilustrator. Please advise me what to do?
I understand the importance of keeping the 2022 version for AXT font compatibility. To help investigate this further, could you confirm if you are using any third-party plugins, like ESKO or others, with Illustrator? Certain plugins can sometimes cause unexpected behavior with older versions.
