Automatically restore Type Character panel settings
When entering text, sometimes we modify settings in the Character panel.
For example, to type CO2 (carbon dioxide) correctly, we select the '2' and enable "Subscript" on it.
What is very annoying is that this custom setting ("Subscript" in above example) remains enabled the next time we enter some completely different text elsewhere and we always have to go back and first fix the setting in the Character panel.Feature suggestion:
Changes made to the "Character panel" should automatically reset to "default" once the text block editing is completed (or before starting editing some new text elsewhere).2 votes -
Numbered List - Choose at which number we wish to start the list.
Hi, It would be great if we could rearrange the order of lists for Numbered List options.
You choose which "Levels" the numbering is but what if under that you would have the option to select at which number to start, 2...3...4 or whatever number we wish to insert.

attributi testo
Sarebbe bello avere aggiunta la funzione "copia attributi" / "incolla attributi" nel testo così come negli oggetti, quindi uno shortcut da tastiera per, ad esempio, attribuire un font o aggiungere un grassetto o corsivo a singole parole all'interno di un testo (FreeHand lo faceva ed era comodissimo)

It would be very useful if we could get text format from above the picture
It would be very useful if we could get text format from above the picture, same like you can easly see this option by google search by image.

Font unit change Adobe Illustrator
Unfortunately, you have to laboriously change the font unit from e.g. pt to mm and vice versa in the presets.
A switch in the character panel would be desirable.
You can also change the letter height there. Here, however, the mm specification is required in most cases.
However, we use this function to quickly check the font height in mm.
We would welcome a feature expansion.2 votes -
Make the spellcheck dictionary global.
Words saved to the dictionary so not persist across multiple document. Please change this behavior or add a preference to save the word to a global dictionary that also survives restarts.

Type on path with multiple lines
We need to extend Type on Path to allow it to be multiline.
The picture does explain it well enough.
Instead of manual offsetting lines (I used AG Offset tool to make a lot of them at once) and making threads, we should be able to just tick an option and get a LIVE result.Also, please see the related request about upgrading the UX of Type on Path as well:

Arabic text options RTL not only in Arabic version of illustrator
When I try to mix Arabic words with english words and punctuations the text ends up messed up because of the lack of RTL option which is only available to Arabic illustrator but I don't want to download the Arabic version just to type in Arabic. I work in a company that deals with translations all the time and Arabic is always an issue.

Type in stroke width value instead of pull down menu in Character styles
In Character Styles the stroke width only provides a pull down menu to choose from. It would be better if we could type in an exact value.
The stroke width of texts needs to be very precise in my work, but the pull down menu is too limited to provide an accurate enough value. (The gaps between available options in the menu are too big.)When I create a new character style by selecting text and adding a new style, the style contains the correct stroke width. But when I need to adjust the width afterwards I can only pick…

Fast way to make multiple text boxes
I like to break up words and phrases in to multiple text boxes so I can move them freely. It would be nice to have a fast way while typing out the phrase to break it in to more than one text box. Like a “command + enter” type thing that instead of going to a new line it goes to a new text box.

After this revision, the paragraph function cannot be used with single-select nodes and the shift button
To modify the paragraph, you can use the node + Shift button to move and adjust the size without offset.
After this revision, it cannot be used with the shift button.1 vote -
フォント名表示の幅を調整できるオプションを追加してください
macOS10.15、11
Illustrator 25.4.3１．ドキュメント上にテキストを入力し、フォントを指定するために文字パネルを開きフォント名をドロップダウンする。
２．フォントプレビューを非表示にした場合、モリサワフォント等接頭辞の大きなフォント（特にAP-OTFで始まるもの）は不適切な省略表記となりフォント名の特定が困難となる。これはフォントの命名にも絡む問題で一概にIllustratorに問題があるとは言い難いものです。ですから、ドロップダウンをプレスした際に表示される幅を可変にして略記表示が問題ある場合にユーザーが表示幅を調整して認識できるようにしていだだけたらと思います。
添付画像の矢印部分をユーザーが調整してフォント名の表示部分の幅を任意に調節することで略記の部分を変更できるようにしていただけたらフォントを探す際に楽になるかと思います。

Font Height Options - "Cap Height" option by default
The new font height option is great!
However, working in the sign trade, everyone including our clients (who are mostly Architects) specify text by cap height so we are constantly changing the default Em size to cap height.
It would save a lot of time and also eliminate any potential size issues with someone having the wrong option selected which could be very costly.

字形パネルメニュー「標準字形に戻す」の仕様が間違っている
日本語版Illustratorの字形パネルメニューには、メニュー項目「標準字形に戻す」があります。
期待する「標準字形に戻す」の仕様：
選択文字からGSUBフィーチャーが取り除かれ、そのフォントのデフォルトグリフが表示される。ただしccmpのようなデフォルトで有効なフィーチャーは除く。InDesignはこの仕様。現在の日本語版Illustratorの「標準字形に戻す」の仕様：
選択文字にGSUBフィーチャー「fwid」（等幅全角字形）が付与され、等幅全角字形のグリフが表示されてしまう。標準字形の意味は、デフォルトグリフ（フォント内のcmapテーブルでマッピングされているグリフ）です。標準字形が「fwid」を意味することは決してありません。InDesignの仕様が正しく、Illustratorの仕様は間違っています。
おそらく字形パネルが実装された当初から間違っており、現在でも間違ったままです。ユーザーはこの間違った仕様にいつも苦しめられています。

Allow to combine/merge selected text and path to Type on Path
In Ai on iPad we can select a text, hold a spot, and drag the text to a path, converting these to Type on Path. Easy!
To perform this in Ai for Desktop we have to cut the text, pick the proper tool, hold Alt (or use a subtool), click on path (very precisely), paste the text and then adjust the position (dragging tiny handles). Dated.
What we definitely need:
1. Ability to drag and drop a text on a path, using some modifier (Ctrl will do) to stick the text to the path
2. Have a command in Type…18 votes -

Specifically when working with variables in text form. They are not being imported correctly, despite everything else working. See picture.

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.
