Do not change the order of characters in the Glyphs panel
Problem Description:
If I've highlighted a character, and choose a different variation of that character in the Glyphs panel, the newly chosen variation moves to the left of the glyphs, changing the order of all the glyphs. This is really annoying. If, instead of the order of the glyphs changing, the blue highlight just moved on to the selected glyph, that would be far less confusing.Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a character in some text
2. Open the Glyphs panel to see the variations of that character
3. Select a different variationActual Result:
The ordering of the variations…2 votes -

Keyboard command for "Find and Replace" Text or ability to add a Keyboard Shortcut.
In Adobe Illustrator: Why is there not a keyboard command to bring up the "Find and Replace" dialog box or the ability to add your own Keyboard Shortcut to do this?

Customizable "MOJIKUMI (Typesetting)" as same as InDesign.
In the case of Japanese, arranging characters beautifully is directly related to the readability of the text, so typesetting is regarded as important.
Japanese typesetting is delicate and very difficult.
I would like an equivalent type engine for InDesign.
A common UI with InDesign is desirable.(Translated to Japanese)
文字組設定をInDesign並みにカスタムできるようにしてほしい。
日本語の場合、美しく文字を並べることが、テキストの読みやすさに直結するので、文字組みは重要視されます。
日本語の文字組みは繊細でとても難しいです。
InDesign並の組版エンジンがあればと思います。 共通UIが望ましい。14 votes -

When a custom-made symbol uses a font, the symbol is expanded and the fonts are eventually outlined, the fonts still show in the “Find Font” menu even know there is no editable text in the document.

CID/GID (Character ID/Glyph ID) are displayed in Glyphs panel.
In the case of Japanese, there are many variations of Chinese character, so it is useful to know CID/GID.
Because it does not make a mistake when designing character. Also, I want CID/GID when using many old characters.
A common UI with InDesign is desirable.(Translated to Japanese)
字形パネルにグリフのCID/GIDを表示して欲しい。
日本語の場合、漢字のバリエーションが多いので、IDがわかると便利です。
作字の時などに間違いないようにしたり、また、旧字を多数使用のする時に CID/GID を表示してほしいです。 InDesign と UI を揃えて欲しいです。13 votes -

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.

Undo Paragraph/Character styles.
In Adobe InDesign, Paragraph or Character styles can be undone by pressing Ctrl+Z. But this is not possible in Adobe Illustrator, which causes some problems. It'd be great if this feature can be added to Illustrator.

text align vertically
Allow text to be vertically centered in text box.
In InDesign, there is an option in the text frame properties, "Vertical Justification", with a "Center" option.
Or, the "baseline shift" option could be split into either specifying a number, as it is now, or specifying "center in text box".
This option is very important sometimes, such as having a tag symbol (e.g. circle) with a label inside that is either 1 or 2 lines high. Right now I have to have 2 paragraph styles (1 for 1-line text and 1 for 2-line text) so the 1 line text is in…

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.

Add "Command-\" to justify the second line of bullets and paragraph text to that location similar to how this works in In Design. Please!
Adding a little extra functionality to Illustrator's copy ability would be great. Sometimes for short-form pieces I'm using Illustrator instead of In Design. This would save a ton of time and add efficiency to copy styling.

Please increase the number of fonts in ”Recent Fonts” option
I work with two different typeface families in daily base (since 1987 when I start with Illustrator). In preferences maximum value of recent fonts is 15. That is a half amount of what I need. Is it possible to increase that value to 30?

More easily work with text
It would be great if like in PS we could select multiple text layers and apply changes to them at once. Like changing the font size or type, rather than having to go layer by painstaking layer :) What takes seconds in PS could take me HOURS in Illustrator :(
