Absolute Optical Kerning when scaling.... I understand show optical kerning works and that smaller type will have relatively more space between glyphs than larger type. However, this results in a problem for those of us who, due to Illustrator's canvas limit (See 227, #downwith227), must design at scales smaller than 1:1.
For that reason, I would like to request that there be an optional type of optical kerning implemented which does not add extra kerning as font size decreases.

Oval text box The ability to click and drag with the type tool to draw an oval text box, as an alternative to the current rectangle text box, would be a good option to have.

Library text asset can't save style v22.1, Windows, 64bit
When I try to add text with a modified appearance to the library I get;
"Only basic appearances are supported for Text in Libraries. Advanced appearances have been dropped to add text to the current Library."
Or; "Couldn't save text asset having style. Remove the styles and try again”.
Seriously – no text styles in the library now? face palm
Ok, so 'Text library asset' is a thing now… whatever it’s supposed to be for, it’s braking basic library functionality.
If I want to add text with an advanced appearance to a library (ie. the ONLY sort…

Notepad like text editor for better rewrites Until Outline to text is added could you please add an inbuilt text editor which can make retyping text a much less hassle.
I want it to be able to help me match my newly rewritten type best match the outline converted text.1 vote -
Right-click or Icon Shortcut for Refine Paragraph Styles Editing type styles on the text element and then applying the style back to the master style is a familiar workflow to many of us especially coming from InDesign. I advocate Adobe add either a right-click option or icon for easy access to this ability.
Thanks

Anyone know the difference between a Paragraph Return ^p vs Forced Line Break ^n Adobe says they made a purposeful change to Illustrator's Text Selection features. What do you think? Feature change or a unintended bug/change?
I suspect most users never use a forced line break, or know much about it.
So this illogical change in text selection to skip over selection just a line and jumps to a whole paragraph will never be seen. Doubt there was a user Feature request to change this also.Illustrator 2018 changed how text is selected with triple clicks and using UP/Down Arrows.
A simple return/enter is a ^p, paragraph return.
A Shift-Return is a ^n, forced…1 vote -

Variable Fonts in Paragraph/Character Styles This may well be planned already, but I would love to be able to edit variable font axes inside the paragraph style dialogue. This would be very valuable in keeping things consistent.

Type / Character Left alignment for all fonts and Characters. As we all know when you type in Illustrator the alignment is not curate with the alignment tool or even justified tools. It would be really nice if the AI team could fix this issue.
See the attachment as an example. The only way to fix this is create outlines and then align.

An option in type preferences to make fonts sized the same as the entered value. When I enter Helvetica and size it to 6 inches, the font produced is only 4 inches. When I type in a letter size, I want that size, Adobe seems to add part of the base line to the font size.

Variable Concept and Legacy Typefaces The new version of Minion and Myriad are EXCELLENT, and I am very excited by the possibilities that this opens up. But I work in Art production, and for consistency, I need access to the legacy version of these typefaces. May we have access to both?

Text Alignment The Text font reflects the actual physical font size. We're doing sign, size of the font is very important to us.

Font Style Sheets The integration of all products in the Adobe suite has helped my workflow tremendously with one exception. If I am working on a project requiring multiple outputs from Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Animate, and Premiere, I have to create design templates for each (when possible) to get each program to use the fonts required for the project.
It would be nice if there were a tool allowing me to create a master style sheet for all outputs that would let me select the fonts used in ALL of my output files. Not only would this make my workflow more efficient, it…0 votes
