1. Better Group Hierarchy after Create Outlines

   It would help my pre production workflow a lot if it was possible to automatically create "separated" groups from text objects when I use create outlines on big chunk of text. For now one text block equals one object. It could be a function allowing me to produce single groups for every line shift for example.

2. Widows, orphans and hyphenation

   It would be useful to have options to not allow any of these with option to always keep x amount of words together on last line of para.

3. Allow to embed fonts to documents/PDFs and convert them to outlines when opened/imported

   As we primarily use Illustrator for creating our print files for our Printers, it would really help our workflow to be able to open, supposedly print ready PDFs from our Clients, with embedded fonts (partial family or whole set) and to be able to convert to vector outline before closing and passing on to our printers without the need for the us to have the same fonts our self. If font licensing is the issue a button option to auto convert to outline as the file is opened via Illustrator would negate that problem..

   I'm requesting this as we are a PC platform and a lot of the time the files coming in are created on Macs, so even with the same font, we often get kerning and line break issues which takes up a lot of our time checking.

5. New Font Height options unit of measurements

   Love the new Font Height options, but it would REALLY be helpful to be able to change the unit of measurements from points to inches or millimeters.

6. Special characters like in InDesign

   It would be reat to have special characters (especially hyphens and white spaces) like in InDesign... and that they work just as good. So far, for example, the "nonbreaking space" doesn't always react well when the text is justified.

7. fix type on path

   Please fix the Type on a path Tool!!! Wherever u click on a path, is where the cursor should begin! Left justified with left & right handles fully extended to the far ends. Don't start at the bottom, don't make me rotate it on a circle and then flip inside out, don't disappear and make me criss-cross the handles to the opposite sides to reveal my text again... Even short line paths have the handles too close together to reveal the text. Come on, it's been going on far too long. Let's fix this. Please. I'm begging you.

8. A way to resize text using the baseline of the text as an anchor point.

   So that's easier to match the font size of another font, or even worse, a rasterized font.

9. Display all font names in default language

   The new Illustrator Adobe Fonts interface displays CJK fonts using their native language name. This is OK for people who are fluent in every language, but may be hard to use depending on who you are. Additionally, the font cannot be searched for using its English name. This is not consistent with InDesign's Adobe Fonts implementation, which still uses all English names.

   Please make Illustrator's CJK font display entirely in English, similar to InDesign's, or at least display a searchable English name in brackets.

10. Eyedropper Tool should pick colors from OpenType-SVG fonts

    When picking a color from either color vector and bitmap OpenType-SVG fonts, the picked color is currently the default underlying text color (often black), not what is actually displayed on screen.

11. Illustrator should prioritize editing the currently focused text over other text objects when placing a cursor or making a text selection

    If I have a text box selected and switch to the text tool, why does Illustrator assume I want to select a non-selected text box to edit text in? It should prioritize the selected text box over non-selected text boxes.

12. Support for ems in leading field of the type panel

    When setting the leading, we have the option of "Auto" or setting a specific value in a static unit like px or pt.

    It would be great if a dynamic unit like ems (as implemented in CSS) were available to make leading, and I suppose other type attributes, scalable relative to the font size.

    For example, if I have a block of text set to 12pt and 1.5em, the leading would be 1.5x the point size, and therefore 18pt. If I were to alter the font size to 20px, the leading would still be 1.5em and therefore would scale automatically to 30px.

    This could also then output to the CSS Properties panel as ems.

13. Select same fill colour selects text with same fill colour too. Tricky I know

    When I hit select same colour and there is any live text box with multiple colours in it it does not select the text. Would be really handy if it did.

14. 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 Style], and we can tweak it (beforehand!) to set the font size...
    But it’s only half-truth. While the font family and the font style indeed follow the style, the font size is always 10 points.

    So, team, if you look how people in different tutorial videos have to dance around this stupid limitation, to guess the card size to fit the font size relatively, and then scale the whole object... I hope you will fill shame at least.

    If you are afraid to overload new users with controls in the dialog — at least make an option to scale font size to fit color chip size... or make it a relative value even.

16. 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?

18. Right-click on a text style to access the its definition and options

    It would be a giant leap forward for Illustrator to match InDesign's UX for paragraph and character styles management.

    Allow right-click on a character or paragraph style to access the style definition and options via a context menu: Edit style, Duplicate style, Delete style, Apply style, Redefine style, instead of using the panels’ menus.

    Original idea by Alan Gilbertson
