Disable Text Auto-Formatting
In Illustrator 2023 came the addition of auto-formatting being applied to text.
Specifically bullets, hyphen bullets, etc.
This should have an option to permanently disable, as it is a nuisance and an efficiency problem to have to turn off every single new text block.
Seriously, Adobe looked at one of Word's most broken features and decided to ram it into Illustrator? The least you could do is look at a good implementation of it like on Google Docs!
But nope, we get terribly formatted, non-customizable, defaulted bullet auto-formatting.
At least give me a preference setting to turn it off permanently.
…
1 voteThere is a way to disable this feature: Preferences > Type > Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing.
However, the fact it’s that obscured and is not given to a user when a conversion happens is a bad UX indeed. In some other apps this choice is given, even when it’s not the first one.
If you want to change this, please keep adding votes and comments.

Illustrator is always disconnected from Creative Cloud
Illustrator refuses to load my fonts and color library. It doesn't sync with the creative cloud until much later if at all. I'm a design intern and it's extremely important I use our specific font and colors so not being able to access this really sets me back on my projects.

Include "Juneteenth" in the Shared Adobe Dictionary
Juneteenth became an official US holiday last year and has been celebrated unofficially since at least 1886.
Shockingly though, the word is not in any Adobe dictionaries.
I propose adding it to the shared dictionary and pushing the update to all applications. I have tested this in multiple apps, and all show it as an error and suggest "Nineteenth" instead.
This is a critical DEI omission, especially this month.
Thanks.

Character panel in Properties Tab needs just one more row, please!
The Properties Panel is great. It contains about 98% of every tool I need typically. However, I would be great to have at least ONE MORE ROW of the Character panel visible. Certainly everyone uses Scale when setting type? It's a fundamental necessity. This would prevent having to click MORE OPTIONS every single time just to horizontal scale. Simple but huge. Thank you.

Please Address Ongoing Bugs in Font Activation
Despite recently getting a fix, there is still a problem involving fonts deactivating, and Illustrator listing those same fonts as active.
I'm still constantly going to the website to deactivate and reactivate fonts, and it's annoying.
Just this afternoon I had this problem with Lato, HWZ Artz, and Wigwag. However I've seen this problem with many others before.
Can't we just store these things locally and keep them there??1 vote -
Option to Reset Character & Paragraph Panel
Provide an option or a button to reset all the values of the character and paragraph panel.
1 voteThis can be done by clicking [Normal Character/Paragraph Styles] items in Character / Paragraph Styles panels (Window > Type >). These styles are also redefinable.

Diacritic Positioning
To add Diacritic Positioning Rules preset options (similar to InDesign) in the Middle Eastern features.
It'd be handy when dealing with Arabic fonts that have their diacritics off, especially when dealing with paragraphs, instead of doing it manually.

The option to select the text on the active artboard and not just the whole document.
The option to select the text on the active artboard and not just the whole document. Presently I can select all text elements, I can then flatten/outline the text. But... if I need to outline the text on the active artboard, that would save a lot of time.

Warning when a file uses PostScript Type 1 fonts
Illustrator should put up a warning when a file is opened that contains Type 1 fonts, so the user is aware of that.
- Link the warning to the EOL announcement, to Find/Replace resp. Adobe Fonts
- User should be able to disable the warning
- The warning should not pop up when there is no Type 1 font used in the file
- Maybe this could be scriptable, so people can include it in large scale file checks1 vote -

Illustrator - Text format
Hi,
This may be a problem specific to biologists, but I often have imported figures with text that has to be partially italicized (species names mostly). It would be very helpful if text formatting commands could be repeated by a keyboard shortcut - preferably Ctrl/Cmd Y so my fingers wouldn't have to learn anything new.
It would also be useful if Find and Replace included a formatting option, so all instances of a particular string could be bolded or italicized or whatever.
Thanks,
Barbara

Allow user to set type font and size, and keep it until selecting a different font and size
I think it would be great if the program “remembered” which type font and size I was working with before in the same file, and keep it that way until I change it. It would also be great to be able to set the type and size across the program if desired, and have it be saved that way until I change it to a different font/size. Because right now, it always automatically goes to the default font and size, which is inconvenient, especially since the default size is 48 point, which is HUGE.

To be able to size and line space text based on a capitol curve letter "C", "O" or "S" and to have exact width without tracking.
I create a lot of graphics for signage using Illustrator and most depend on actual sizing and spacing of the text. If I put 12" letters and convert to outlines the text is is really 25% smaller. So I eather have to outline the text and lose editability or I have to eyeball a clipping mask to the curve letter and rezize the cliping mask to the correct size. Also the width should be based on the actual vectors and not the letters with Tracking (Kerning). If I add 100 tracking to the text, it is wider then the actual…
