  1. Numpad Enter to commit text.

    Please, please, please can the devs change Illustrator so that the Numpad Enter key submits/commits text rather than going to a new line?

  2. Motor de texto vertical

    I would like it to be possible to edit the text in vertical format, I explain.

    I have a text in horizontal format which I can modify in every possible way, but I am working on a project that uses a custom typography and requires vertical writing, the problem is that when changing to vertical format the writing direction changes from right to left.

    the idea is that the reader can read from top to bottom, but in the same direction from left to right.

    i have looked for a way to change the orientation of the vertical writing direction…

  3. Preview Only Text Features

    Can we get additional features to handle Preview Only Text?

    • A Highlight Preview Only text feature similar to the Highlight Substituted Fonts Preference?

    • A Outline Preview Only text button or preference?

    • A preference to turn the feature off all together? (Considering it is currently bugged and Area text within it's container gets moved — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49832784)

    Illustrator 2025 is now using embedded fonts instead of demanding they be substituted. You can not add text or paste it into a different document however you can adjust the tracking and the scale. When you paste it into a new…

  4. Dedicated Persian Language Engine for Illustrator

    Persian-speaking users form a large and growing part of Illustrator’s user base. However, Persian text support still relies on the Arabic engine, which leads to issues in text rendering, alignment, and typography.
    Persian has unique typographic rules that differ from Arabic, and a dedicated engine is essential for proper layout and display.
    We request the development of a Persian-specific text engine to improve support and usability for millions of Persian-language users. I’m happy to provide examples if needed.
    Thank you!

  6. Allow to control font for Swatch Info objects

    Well... if one wants to choose font size for text in Swatch Info objects while making one — tough luck. We can only set the color chip size.

    Since Preview is completely missing now (here’s the request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49681244), it’s hard to evaluate if text would be large enough to accompany them.
    Even if you change the font size after the Swatch Info is created — won’t do, each text line is a separate type objects, their leading won’t be adjusted, the card background rectangles won’t adapt!

    One can think this font is based on the [Normal Paragraph…

  7. Type Automation/Modulation Tool

    A automation/modulation tool allows type to be edited based off different parameters. (ex. typewriter function that allows more ink bleed onto random letters on a body of type). Similar to music production automation/modulation in that there would be values from 0-100 and then those settings could have a parameters (ex. setting the bounds of the automation from value of 80-100 and then having the ability to randomize that automation between those values). The highlighted text that needs automation/modulation would have a separate window with a linear grid to adjust each individual character and a drop down menu of what parameter…

  8. Reinstate the Full Retype Editing Functionality

    I have been a dedicated user of Adobe products and have greatly appreciated the advanced features that facilitate creative workflows. One such feature was the "Retype" function which allowed users to edit text directly within images. This feature was incredibly useful for many of us in the creative and professional fields, as it streamlined our processes and enhanced productivity.

    However, the Retype feature now seems limited to only identifying similar fonts rather than enabling direct text editing within an image. This limitation has significantly impacted the utility of this tool.

    Could you please consider reinstating the full functionality of Retype…

  10. ZWNJ (Zero Width Non-Joiner)

    Please enable the shortcut for ZWNJ (Zero Width Non-Joiner), It's commonly used in Arabic and Persian Language. In other programs, we can type it by Ctrl+Shift+2 or Shift+Space ...
    کتاب‌ها
    Between "کتاب" and "ها" is a ZWNJ character, without that it will join:
    کتابها

  12. An ability to have an exact width without tracking

    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 vectors and that creates issues with making sure the letters will fit on a wall that they would be attached to.

  13. 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.

  14. Support wildcard characters in Find & Replace

    My only wish for the text Find & Replace would be able to use wildcard characters. That was such a great option in the TexEdit (not TextEdit) word processor and I have yet to find something similar for the Mac.

  15. Find and Replace should immediately count occurrences of the Find field contents in a document, before hitting Find

    Why not showing us how many occurrences of a searched text the document has as we type the text? Why every browser can do this, but a professional tool will smack you with the loud alert only after you hit Replace All? How can I count matches without replacing?!

  16. Don’t require hitting Find before Replace All becomes active in Find and Replace dialog

    Illustrator’s Find and Replace dialog is bad.
    One of the issues is that we can’t immediately Replace All after we enter text. We have to press Find first.

    Why? If it’s nothing to replace — replace nothing (and perhaps show a message, preferably a shy one, not a clunky modal dialog).

  17. Add a Recent section in the Find/Replace Font dialog

    Sometimes we have to use the same font as a replacement font.
    Find/Replace Font dialog remembers none of our previous replacement searches. And since Search / Filter is missing too (here is the request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45057382), we are doomed to scroll the list every time.
    Just remember the choices at least!

  18. Display names for character alternates

    When a singular character is selected, Illustrator shows Character Alternates menu (if one has the option enabled in Preferences > Type).

    But while some glyphs look distinct enough, some are obscure.

    These have names, Unicode codes (these are displayed in Glyphs)...
    What’s good seeing three similar spaces? How can I choose properly from two similar looking small 'a'-s, as shown in the screenshot attached?
    Why can’t I see what these character alternates are when I hover over them?

  19. 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!
