    How good are you at using Illustrator? are you new to it or not. If you are new to it do you know about the status of fills and outlines on the menu bar. The Menu Bar shown below highlights with the Red circle that shows that any object selected would have a Black outline with No fill (red diagonal line through the box). The Blue circle shows the Swatches Panel where the Black is highlighted because the Black Outline box is to the front on the menu bar. If you click the arc with the 2 arrow heads above the Outline Box this will swap the colour so that there would be No Black Outline ---> but there would be a Black Colour Fill which I think you want. Sorry if you think I am showing you something you know so come back if this doesn't help.

    I am not new to IA, i know all that and using this for some time.

    The problem is, if you look the photo up, see the font, first one is regular, the second one is outlined and the program does this with all fonts (first i thought is that type of font) and don't know why.
    When i draw square it does that as shown on photo. I changed the color of fill and stroke (here also the pt of it), but any of these works.
    Just yesterday i draw a silhouette of the dog and outlined the fonts and was all ok. Today all this does not work.
    And i have never encountered that kind of a problem, till now.

    If you or anyone else can tell me, would realy appriciate it. Thanks

    I know it's a pain but I would uninstall and then reinstall.
