Illustrator CC 2014 Font defaulting

Running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Illustrator CC 2014, Suitecase Fusion 6 (fonts loaded on computer)
I build business cards and reproduce them.
Event - Open Illustrator document copy everything (type and graphics)
Paste into another Illustrator document (same version of Illustrator) and the type defaults to Myriad Pro (default font)
This is inconsistent, happens maybe twice a week (handling about 200 files a week) but is costly.
Example
Open document A copy all content.
paste into document B (blank template for many up) Font can be fine.
open document C paste into document B (template again) and fonts can default to Myriad Pro
open document D paste into document B (template again) and font can be fine again.
This problem is difficult to reproduce because it is so infrequent.
Are there any extensions I can turn off, preferences I should trash, Reinstall?
I've read several posts starting with CS5.5 up to last fall (2014) but I haven't read any fixes yet.
Any suggestions would help. Thank You.

Jacob Bugge, thank you for your suggesting of changing the default font, but I couldn't get it to work.
I thought I followed the directions to the T, I tried several times with different fonts (all system fonts) but it didn't take.
Of course I must have missed something.
But… I was able to recreate this problem in case this is effecting anyone else.
I have two documents open - Document A (business card) and Document B (template)
I copy the items from document A
Paste into document B
if I close document A without saving (by clicking on the "X") while I am still in document B (still having the pasted contents selected) - the font defaults to Myriad Pro.
If I click (command Z) it reverts back to the original pasted font. (this is how I get around this problem - I hope I catch all of them)
This still doesn't happen in all situations but when it does happen I am able to recreate the problem with the same file.
This is strange, because - I didn't do anything to document B except paste the information into it. So when I "undo" it should remove the pasted information. This tells me it is actually preforming an action like "change fonts to default".
I'm thinking this could be any number of things - Fonts, Server, or even a corrupted Illustrator download (most likely fonts because it isn't happening to all files I use. I will try to track the font usage to see if that is it)
I hope people can follow this explanation and it helps find a solution to this strange problem.

I want to use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CC 2014

Hello - I have installed Illustrator CC 2014 in both the English and English/Hebrew versions and still can't seem to get my Hebrew fonts to work. No matter what I try, any verbiage I type is still showing as roman characters. Any tips or advice?

I also need larger text in tabs.

Illustrator CC 2014 file unable to save when live fonts are included.

Illustrator CC 2014 file will not save when there is any kind of font included that IS NOT outlined / converted to paths.
Does not matter what font. I have tried saving as .PDF / .EPS and I still experience the error ("An unknown error has occurred").
If I copy and paste that live font into another .AI file I have open, then that file will also not save and I get the exact same "unknown error" box when trying to do so.
I'm on an iMac and not using any font management software.
Anyone experience this issue yet?

masonicstyle,
I believe the first guess is corrupted font(s)/font caches, see Items 1) and 11) in Other options (follow the link with that name).
It could be any (number of) font(s) in the fonts folder, not just the one(s) in the document.

I can't get my PC to use Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open .ait or .eps files.

When I try to set Illustrator CC (2014) as the default program to open certain files, such as Illustrator templates (.ait) or .eps files, my PC will not allow me to choose Illustrator. I've tried asking it to use the shortcut & also by going into my folders as follows:
C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 > Support Files > Contents > Windows > Illustrator
Anyone know how to fix this?

Quick Font Sampling Not Working in Illustrator CC 2014 18.1.0

I just updated Illustrator CC 2014 to version 18.1.0 and have lost a feature I've come to depend upon to try out different fonts. I don't know what to call the feature, but this is how it worked:
With a type box selected or type highlighted, I would go to the font menu and with my up/down arrows on my keyboard, start going through the list. This would cause the selected text to change. It was a super quick way to run up and down my font list to see what different type would look like.
Any ideas what's gone wrong?
What I'm running:
iMac OS 10.9.5
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB RAM
FontExplorer X Pro 4.2.1

Hi Satinder,
I can change the font with the arrow tool, but it wouldn't change the text block I was applying it to unless I then hit "Enter." In the previous version of AI, I didn't need to do this until I landed on a font I wanted to use.
However, after an hour-long chat with Adobe, they were able to see my issue and provided a very simple fix:
1. Quit Illustrator CC 2014 18.1.0.
2. Go to: User>Library>Preferences>Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings, select the folder "en_US" and change its name (they had me rename it to "2en_US")
3. Relaunch Illustrator and the problem should be resolved. Illustrator creates a new preference folder.
4. You can go ahead and delete the original, renamed preference folder.
I hope this is helpful to others that have had the same problem.

Illustrator CC, 2014, default art board name

In Illustrator CC, 2014, How do you remove a custom art board name, and reset the default to start back at one? It used to be you would just remove the name, but that no longer works. When I create a new art board in a document that has been used as a template, it starts at "Artboard 239." How do I get that back to 1 without starting a new document?

Davey,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Or you could have a look at items 1) and 11) in Other options (follow the link with that name).

Illustrator cc 2014 crash loading fonts on mac osx 10.9.5

Hello,
I'm trying to open illustrator cc 2014 and its crashes right after loading fonts...
Any ideas?
Regards,

Chuchi,
You may try to have a look at the list, maybe especially items 1) and 11) under 5).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Default color palette in illustrator cc 2014

How and where can I save a custom default color palette in Illustrator cc 2014 ?
I'd figured it out for cc, but it overwrote my palettes when I upgraded, and now I can't seem to find the solution. .ase files don't seem to be recognized by 2014, either.
Thanks!

Oh no, wait sorry. False alarm.
I don't have those options in my advanced options when I create a new AI doc. (see attached)
Clicking the "profile [custom]" dropdown only gives me the option to select presets such as "Web" and "Print" and "Basic RGB", but no option to create my own.

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 won't open under my current admin profile.

I recently installed Adobe CC 2014 suite on my Windows 7 OS. All the programs open properly with the exception of Illustrator CC. The error message I get is:
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Since receiving this message I have gone through other forum posts and have tried all (below) with no remedy.
Uninstalled using Windows Uninstall Program followed by Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstalled. (I’ve done this numerous times. I also removed any prior software versions (CS5) along with preceding software preferences.)
All of my OS drivers have been updated.
Monitor, Processor and GPU Drivers are updated. NOTE: I’m running an Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz processor and an AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series GPU.
I’m running my workstation as an admin user, however created a shared user group so InDesign would open properly. (This was my other problem I was having up until a few hours ago.)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Verdana and Tahoma TTF fonts.
I am not running or have installed any 3rd party plug-ins.
I read a forum post that said you can get around this problem by creating a new admin account. I did and was able to open Illustrator under that profile; however I’m still unable to open it under my existing admin account. How can I get around this? There must be a way to get Illustrator to open in my current account.
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I’m now on day No. 2 trying to get this solved.

Hello Mylenium,
Is this what you need to determine what is causing Illustrator CC to crash upon opening the program?

Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

I still don’t have a clue…

j,
Did you reinstall the full three step way, see 6) in the list, and did you delete font caches (see item 11) under 5) in the list?
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator CC 2014 won't start anymore, Windows 7

Illustrator CC 2014 has been working fine ever since I installed it up until 2 days ago. I tried to open the program and it showed a box with "Could not complete the requested operation". I saw there was an update available so I installed that and now it shows the initial picture from starting but then pops the same box up and when I click close it closes the starting image and is done. I did install some Windows Updates earlier that day. I have since uninstalled ALL the updates from that day and I'm still getting the same thing. All my other Adobe programs are still working correctly, including AI CC, AI CS6, PS CC, PS CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC 2014.
I also tried removing the "en_US" preferences folder. That didn't fix the problem either, but it does get far enough during starting to make a new "en_US" folder.
PLEASE HELP!!! I have searched everywhere with no luck for this problem with Windows, only MAC.

Hello Ashli315,
Did you install any 3rd party plugins to your AICC 2014 installation? Or did you install any software say any font management software which might be causing the clash. Or was there any Windows update which got installed after which the crash started happening?
Thanks!

Illustrator CC 2014 Crashes on Startup

Hi,
I recently updated to Illustrator CC 2014, along with other Adobe programs such as Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign etc. All other programs launch fine, but Illustrator always crashes when initialzing a plugin or loading the font library. I'm unsure if it's definitely linked because it's not always the same plugin being loaded when it crashes. However, I deleted the plugins folder and the program loaded correctly, but I obviously couldn't do anything inside the program.
I'm running Windows 8 64 bit, and the programs are all installed on a SSD. I've tried compatibility mode, running as administrator and reinstalling the program. If I can't fix this issue soon I'm just going to revert back to a previous version.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Illustrator cc 2014 sluggish performance, old cc works fine

i have a file in adobe illustrator cc 2014 that has a texture layer, i.e. a lot of little white specks. when i try to move/resize/anything this object, i get the lovely color spin wheel and everything grinds to a halt. illustrator cc 2014 slows, and i can't move or scale these objects. any other objects i can move about and scale fine. now if i open these exact same files in the previous adobe illustrator cc...it works just fine; silky smooth. no issues whatsoever. this is a small file, only 960 pt x 560 pt, and i'm on a monster machine: iMac 3.4 GHz i7 quad core with 32 GB RAM. Why am i having these performance issues in illustrator cc 2014?
also...extra frustrating...can't get the Help Chat to work. I've tried both Safari and Chrome...click the Start Chat button...nothing...not cool.

Hello Ashli315,
Did you install any 3rd party plugins to your AICC 2014 installation? Or did you install any software say any font management software which might be causing the clash. Or was there any Windows update which got installed after which the crash started happening?
Thanks!
