Accents / Diacritics accessibility
i'm using Illustrator and I need to type in Portuguese/Spanish so i need to use accents like áàê
Everywhere else on Mac OS if I long press the key I get an accent pop up, like this:
In Illustrator, this never shows up.
I know there are workarounds (glyphs window, other mac shortcuts and keyboard viewer) but none of those is practical.
That accent pop up is shown everywhere else in the system except for Illustrator, which is very frustrating2 votes -

Drag .otf or .ttf file into illustrator and it appears as a lorum ipsum text box on your artboard
Not sure if this is possible but how great would it be if you could drag a .otf or .ttf file (font) into illustrator and it automatically processed as a lorum ipsum text box.

Can't scroll through fonts and have text change while scrolling anymore...?
I am not sure why this feature changed but I use a lot of different fonts in my industry and its great to be able to scroll through fonts and have text change while scrolling so I can see what they look like without having to click on each font to see how the text looks. This will take forever now. Is this a bug or a feature you will be fixing?

The ability to select a vertical row within text to change color or make it bold.
The ability to select a vertical row within text to change colors or style.
We design a lot of restaurant menus, brochures, TV menus, and currently to make the items and prices have its own color or style, we either duplicate and erase items/prices to change color and style (bold for e.g.), or we change each line manually (which takes some time).
Wish to see this in Illustrator soon.
Thanks

Path Text when using pattern as a shadow
When using pattern (for example, striped) as a shadow, text should take the angle of the letters.
Currently, this takes over the angle of the pattern.2 votes -
Please allow fonts to be found by typing in the name in the drop down list.
Please go back to allowing fonts to be found by typing in the name into the drop down menu.
2 votesThis is exactly what Illustrator allows already.
In fact, it allows two ways you can toggle, using the 'looking glass' icon at the left of the Font Family input: 'Search Entire Font Name' or 'Search First Word only'.
Perhaps it got changed for you?
Anyway — if it does not behave like it should — please log a separate bug request about this in the proper forums’ section.

Allow text on linked files to be editable (just as it happens in embed)
When I embed a PSD file into Illustrator, it preserves the layers and also the text boxes, allowing me to edit the text. However, if the file is liked, Illustrator converts all text to pixels, which can cause various problems when printing. It would be great to be able to keep the text as vectors, even if not editable. But rasterizing all text just because the file is liked is a big problem.

Variable font substitution (with different number of axis)
I get a crash when: Having a 3-axis variable font used in a document, I close the file and delete the font from my system . Then I open the file and try to substitute that missing font by another with a different number of axis. Boom.
I guess the perfect behaviour here would be to ignore the extra axis or use a neutral value for axis added after substitution.
Thanks!

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.

Cannot copy paste text from Illustrator generated PDF's
To reproduce the issue:
Create an Illustrator file
Create a new text frame, type anything and set font to Stratos (OTF) (as available from Adobe Fonts)
Export PDF through "Export for screens"
Trying to copy paste text failsThe issue occurs more precisely with characters that have glyphnames like uniXXXX.
Almost all characters in Stratos have uniXXXX names, even though they are present in the
AGL. So "A" has "uni0041" as glyphname.
We were under the assumption that uniXXXX glyph names were accepted.
The issue only seems to occur with .otf fonts.See the two attached PDF's for
251119-Stratos-ttf.pdf will…1 vote -

Proper UI for text box conversions between auto-width, auto-height, and fixed-height
The current way to convert text boxes feels very cumbersome. There really should be a 3 item toggle (properties panel?) for quick conversions to:
Single height
Fixed height
Auto heightAnd there shouldn't be an overset text penalty if converting to single height.

Preserve Text Formatting when using Paste
I would like to suggest adding an option to preserve text formatting when pasting content.
I’m aware of the Place Text feature, but it doesn’t fully meet the need of retaining the original formatting from copied text.This functionality would be especially helpful for my work, as I frequently design leaflets that include both English and Arabic text. Having a paste option that maintains formatting would save time and ensure greater consistency in my projects.
I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this feature. Thank you for the excellent work you do in developing Illustrator.
