Snap to Glyph guides not working tried everything

Hi,

I'm using Illustrator 2025 on OS 15.3. I've read all the posts on this and have changed all my guides accordingly. I've also restarted Illustrator. The pink smart guiades are showing but the green glyph guides are not. Some of my text has been Outlined and others have been Expanded.

Thanks,

Sonya

Snap to Glyph is meant for Live Text.

When text is outlined/expanded, it behaves as normal objects. Snap will work as it does for objects, of course, but you won't see any green guides.
