As soon as I open an older file in illustrator the text doesn't appear. I highlight it and try to edit it and it doesn't seem to have text in there at all to even highlight or extract.

What type of font is being used in the old files? Any old Type 1 fonts? What OS and version?

The type is source sans pro. As far as I remember I can't see any type 1 fonts being used. My OS is windows 11 on Surface book.

I made sure all the fonts were activated through the creative cloud desktop. There is no message for the missing font just a about missing photos.

If you look at your files in Outline mode (View > Outline) do you see any (maybe outlined) text?
