The Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 update resolves the following issues:
What's covered
- Problems specific to running Illustrator on Mac OS with RAM exceeding 4 GB
- Glyphs panel didn't insert stylistic alternatives for glyphs
- Crash caused by fonts with bad FOND resource file (Mac OS)
- Illustrator crashed at startup with some nondefault system preferences (Mac OS)
- Illustrator crashed when the application was quit immediately after startup (Windows)
- Illustrator crashed if quit immediately after signing into or signing out of CS Live or CS Review (Mac OS)
- Copy from Illustrator and Paste Special as EMF into other applications didn't work
- Show All
On some systems, after opening large complex files, certain operations failed. Errors ranged from keyboard shortcuts no longer working, rulers disappearing, files not opening, and application crashes.
This update includes a repair to the Glyphs panel, which didn't insert stylistic alternates. The panel now works as expected.
When some system preferences, like “Number Thousand Separators” were changed to nondefault settings, Illustrator crashed at startup. This error doesn't occur with the 15.0.1 update.
The 15.0.1 update resolves a crash that occurred if the Illustrator was closed immediately after startup, before the application bar loaded completely.
Illustrator crashed if quit immediately after signing into or signing out of CS Live or CS Review (Mac OS)
Several Mac OS-only issues regarding services were addressed in this update. Crashes could occur when you either signed in or signed out of CS Live or CS Review and Illustrator while the sign-in/sign-out process was still underway.
Copying from Illustrator and pasting special as EMF in other applications, such as PowerPoint or Excel, stopped working. The 15.0.1 update resolves this issue.
During rasterization, either from the Object > Rasterize menu, saving to a raster format, or printing to a bitmap printer, horizontal lines appeared on objects.
After importing a Variables library with linked images, traversing through the dataset caused Illustrator to crash. This issue is addressed in this update.
Illustrator crashed when started in Windows XP SP3 when automatic scheduled task creation was disabled
Illustrator crashed at startup on Windows XP with Service Pack 3 for specific domain configurations if automatic scheduled task creation was disabled. The 15.0.1 update resolves this issue.
