Request: Add Custom Font Sizes to Text Size Dropdown in Illustrator
It would be great if Adobe Illustrator allowed users to save custom font sizes (such as 150pt, 200pt, etc.) to the default text size dropdown in the Character panel. Currently, while you can manually enter large font sizes, they don't appear in the dropdown for future use. Allowing custom sizes to be added to the dropdown would save time, improve workflow consistency, and make working with large text sizes more efficient. Thank you for considering this feature!

Make Illustrator inform users about the live shape nature of the path used for area type and provide associated controls for it
Currently, when we use a live rectangle as a path for an area type, it secretly stays live shape inside, and it allows us to scale the object with the round corners honored. If we round corners for a rectangle-looking path (not live shape), corners will get stretched.
However, there is no way to distinguish these two cases with UI, or to convert a rectangular path used for the area type into live rectangle shape, or to have shape-sepcific controls.
Please refer to the discussion in comments for the details.
This request is based on the original declined bug report…

文字プロパティの「さらに検索」の言語表示を改善
文字プロパティの「さらに検索」で母国語以外の他言語が上位表示される仕様になっている。
日本ユーザーの場合、韓国語が上位表示されており、利便性に欠けるとともに、ローカライズが出来ていない状態といえる。
ユーザーの母国語を最優先に表示する仕様に改善すべきと考える。

Font stack (like CSS)
As a user who frequently works with CJK texts, I often encounter challenges in managing fonts for multilingual documents. Currently, setting different fonts for mixed-texts is a cumbersome process.
When I work with mixed texts, it is common to set CJK texts in one typeface and English text in another, as it is usually the case for many brands. To do so, I have to set the fonts of the text twice (first English, then find all characters whose font is unchanged and set them to the CJK font). Sometimes, if the chosen CJK font has missing characters (“tofu”), I…

ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定が300ppiの場合でもApple Color Emojiが低い解像度でラスタライズされる
macOS Ventura / iMac27inch i5/32GB/1TB
Illustrator ver.28.3（カラーフォントに対応したバージョン全てで同様の挙動だと思われます。）問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
1. テキストツールを使いアートボード上をクリックしテキスト入力モードに
2. 字形パレット上で任意の絵文字をダブルクリック
3. アートボード上のポイントテキストに絵文字が入力されるので、サイズを15pt程度に設定する。
4. メニューより「書式→アウトラインを作成」を実行する。
5. ビットマップ系のカラーグリフのフォントなのでビットマップに変換されるが、アウトライン前の表示に対して著しい解像度低下が起きる。想定していた結果
アウトライン化後もアウトライン前と同程度の品質のビットマップとしてラスタライズされる。実際の結果
72ppiでラスタライズした状態になる為、ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定にて300ppi等の高解像度設定を行っている場合、想定した品質のものにならない。AppleColorEmojiフォントは各グリフをpng形式で持つカラーグリフフォントです。Illustratorはこのフォントを表示するために、当フォントが数種類内包するサイズ違いのStrikeの内のもっともピクセル数の多いStrike8を利用してレンダリングします。これは各グリフが160px×160pxのサイズで、上記の手順での表示品質を充分担保できるサイズと言えます。
しかし、アウトライン化の際、Illustratorはこのフォントが持つpngデータを利用せず、一律で「RGB/72ppi/アンチエイリアス無し」の設定でラスタライズします。そのせいで本来フォントが持つディテイルが失われます。「ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定」が300ppiの場合15piのグリフは60px×60px程度のサイズでラスタライズされることが期待されるのですが、72ppiで処理される為に半分程度のサイズとなります。
アウトライン化という意味では埋め込み画像を生成する際にフォントが持つpngを読み出して配置するのが理想であると考えます。しかし、ドキュメント解像度にあわせたラスタライズ処理を行うという処理も合理的ではあります。
いずれにせよ、データの品質を担保する意味でもドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定に応じた処理をお願いします。13 votes -
Alt/Option-click on the "New style" icon to open a text style definition dialog directly
It would be a giant leap forward for Illustrator to match InDesign's UX for paragraph and character styles management.
Allow us to Alt/Option-click on the "New style" icon to open the style definition dialog directly, avoiding nonsense names like "Paragraph Style 1."
The same approach is used for Graphic Styles, so it should be allowed for text styles as well.

Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel
I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.

Warn about text elements in a document
Greetings, team. I have a suggestion to enhance your fantastic design software. I frequently work with tiny text elements in my vector art designs for textile sublimation. The challenge lies in the sheer volume of items I create daily, each with various sizes and variations. Sometimes, I inadvertently include text within the art, only to notice it after printing. To address this, I propose the creation of a 'guide text' feature. This text could be visible during the design process but excluded from the final print. Alternatively, a warning could be implemented to alert users when text is present within…

Identify Newly Installed Fonts in Adobe Illustrator
Problem:
Managing large font collections in Adobe Illustrator can be challenging, especially when installing new fonts. With hundreds or even thousands of fonts, identifying recently added ones becomes a tedious task, often requiring manual scrolling and searching through the entire font menu.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a feature in Illustrator that allows users to easily identify newly installed fonts. Here are two potential options:
Filter by Install Date: Add a sorting option within the font menu that displays fonts by their installation date. This would allow users to quickly see the most recently added fonts at the top of the list.

Please add Illustrator option to maintain text color
Could you please add an option for us to keep the color we chose for the text in an illustrator file we're currently working on?
Meaning: Say I am writing text in a file, but I want separate text boxes and I want to keep the same color, rather than Illustrator defaulting back to black or whatever color was set as default in the preferences.
I'd like to be able to check a box to keep the color I am using for the text rather than having to go back to the color and subsequently the default sizes set in…
