Change forms of Pan-CJK font in language dropdown menu
Super OTC Pan-CJK font like "Source Han Sans" has multiple forms of character in same unicode. In Indesign, we can change them by choosing language in dropdown menu, but in Illustrator, it works only for hyphenation and we can't choose CJK languages.
Please add function to change forms without installing Subset OTF.

Copy/pasting text from illustrator into other text editors
I can't copy text from illustrator and paste into Word, gmail, Notes, Google Docs... anything! It makes it so I have to retype everything which is insane. I used to be able to copy from illustrator into other text editing tools. Why not anymore?

Hide / disable unwanted fonts
There is a long list of fonts that I just don't use. There needs to be some way to hide fonts. Especially with all the fonts that get added, plus any fonts that the os has installed.

TateChuYoko’s Adjustment value is limited to an integer in point
The "TateChuYoko" using for vertical writing text, under use in Japanese environment.
The adjustment value is set only to integers of points and it is very troubling.
In that state, I can only do a rough job too much.
I would like to improve so that more detailed values can be set.<Japanese>

Copy and Paste text from Email or web to Illustrator
It's very annoying that we cannot copy text from email or from the web and paste into illustrator, Why? Whenever I need, which is a lot, I have to paste into Photoshop, so I can copy and paste into Illustrator. I always receive text from clients through mail. Does not make any sense. Please could you fix this?

"EmojiOne Color" font in AI CC 2019
"EmojiOne Color" is a "color-only" font in AI CC 2019. Although it has "fallback" B&W characters that work fine in earlier versions of Illustrator the font CANNOT be change to B&W in AI CC 2019. This is a HUGE flaw in the font and should be made to work in either color or black and white mode.

Removing text style while keeping formatting
I'd like to be able to remove a text object's style (in other words: unlink the text block from the style), but still keep the text's formatting as is.
What usually happens is that, when you create new text blocks, for some reason, they automatically get the latest text style applied. If you don't pay attention, then you might create many text objects and format them manually (because they don't need to be linked to any specific style), and at some point, you realize that all these texts are linked to a certain style, and that's not what you intended…

Recent fonts button in character panel
We can disable the recents fonts list in the character panel by making the number of recent fonts 0 in preferences panel. While working it always changes if you need to see recents fonts or not. I suggest to put a "show recent fonts" button the top of the character panel, near the "show recently added", "show activated fonts" buttons. The name of button can be "Show recents fonts". It is that simple. And we again can define the number of recent fonts from preferences panel.

Non-breaking space (NBSP) should work
AI ignores NBSP when it's places as symbol. 'No break' option is an option but ridiculously hard to be applied quickly. Anyway NBSP should work
42 votesWhile NBSP works in the general build now, the symbol it uses is still not consistent with InDesign. AFAIK, it was done to quickly push the fix to users... but it’s been 2 years since.

I am trying to display on Illustrator the diagraming of sentences. Here is an example: Constructing that image requires typing on a pat
See attached file with a screen shot of what "Type on a path" might accomplish if the path were to be made visible on a project for diagramming sentences.

Do not change the order of characters in the Glyphs panel
Problem Description:
If I've highlighted a character, and choose a different variation of that character in the Glyphs panel, the newly chosen variation moves to the left of the glyphs, changing the order of all the glyphs. This is really annoying. If, instead of the order of the glyphs changing, the blue highlight just moved on to the selected glyph, that would be far less confusing.Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a character in some text
2. Open the Glyphs panel to see the variations of that character
3. Select a different variationActual Result:
The ordering of the variations…2 votes -
