Text not showing up in illustrator

[julie6C19]

First issue with the placeholder text I sorted. Second issue is that there is no text at all now when I open a text box it will not show any text I type. Please help.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Illustrator forum so that proper help can be offered.

Please show a screenshot with a selected text object and the appearance panel.

What OS & Illustrator version?

Is your OS & hardware meeting the system requirements?

What font are you using is it opentype technology or the old type 1 which will no longer work.

Reinstall App

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner to fully remove your app & prefs then reinstall
