An error occurred while saving the comment Looks like a job for Astute Graphics’ Smart Remove Brush... or for Wrinkle Remover by Virtual Mirror (for older versions)... the native Smooth tool is not strong enough for these lumps.

An error occurred while saving the comment I had to build a custom AHK script for this which plays the hotkey chord: Alt+E, N, U, Alt+T, and then either Home for 'points' or Home, M for 'millimeters'. Works.
Sure there should be native ways. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several external solutions for importing old Freehand projects into Illustrator.
One of them is discussed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dH7k00nO2YAdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment It cant be improved with the options to align to x-height and cap height:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35039683An error occurred while saving the comment Simon, can you explain it further, with images?
An error occurred while saving the comment This should be also extended to the set of 'Convert to Shape' effects!
E.g. 'Convert to Rectangle' is a great way to add a live background plate under a live text, but it is applied to the em-box, naturally. If you introduce 'Tight Fit' option there (along with 'Cap-height' and 'x-height'), this would give much more control over the parametric appearance workflow in Ai.An error occurred while saving the comment Follow-up to the previous comment:
and if you make a stroke instead of a fill, enable Preview Bounds, you will have a strange gap between visual edge of the stroke and the bounding box. And the green rectangle will align to this enlarged bounding box! With bbox excluded it will align to the black fill again.An error occurred while saving the comment So, here's the problem.
I have a live text, and it has two fills. Bottom orange fill has Offset Path effect applied to it.
For whatever reason I want to align my green rectangle to the visual bottom of this text (I marked it with a guide).
1. I see that a bounding box is now around my Em Box, and lower edge is lower than the guide.
2. So I go to the options and enable 'Use Preview Bounds'. Ai extends the bounding box so all orange is now inside of it, but the bottom edge is still where it was — because Em Box is still higher than the orange fill.
3. So I go the options again and check 'Exclude bounding box: Point Text' — I believe that it would trim that part of the bounding box that extends below the orange fill.
4. I set the text as a key object and align box to the text.
5. Boom, it aligns to the black fill!
6. OK, I say, I go to options again and untick exclusion.
7. Now it aligns to the bounding box!
Having Preview Bounds off and Exclusion on will align to black fill.
So there is no way to align a box to a visual edge now :)An error occurred while saving the comment It took me a while to find the option.
Well, I found it at first try, but it's named differently now and has two options, so I wondered if there's a different place for a Tight Bounds now.It clashes now with 'Use Preview Bounds' options. Please check all combinations and see for yourself (especially text with a fat stroke, 'Use Preview Bounds' on, 'Exclude bounding box: Point Text' on — is should align art to the visible edge of the text's fat stroke, but it does not).

An error occurred while saving the comment Bobby, what is that rival app you are referring to?
An error occurred while saving the comment You can!
View > Snap to Glyph (and make sure you have Smart Guides on too).
Does it work for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Going back to this — there is a way to modify Normal Paragraph Style and change the kerning value to Optical or even zero in Basic Character Formats, and then save it as a document profile one can later use to create new documents. The way is not obvious and requires creating a temp text object in the document profile first, ang them keeping the document backed up, to prevent overwriting, but the method works.
An error occurred while saving the comment No, don't change the defaults. Font kerning is a data provided by a font designer. Ai should respect it even if it's bad.
But! Allow users to change the default if they like. As far as I know, the team works on this already..
So — no vote. It will be fixed eventually without it. -

An error occurred while saving the comment A solution to this can be an action with 4 operations recorded: set stroke color, none (a click in Swatches), set fill color, none.
One click in its button or pressing a custom hotkey — and it’s done.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several custom script solution for this, such as:
- https://github.com/sky-chaser-high/adobe-illustrator-scripts#stepAndRepeat
- https://github.com/hendraanggrian/prepress-adobe-scripts/blob/main/Illustrator%20Scripts/Objects/Step%20and%20Repeat....jsx
- https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/autors/OlegButrin/StepRepeat.jsx
- https://sites.google.com/site/dtpscripting/illustrator-scripts/stepandcopyai
Which means the demand is here. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see many reports on web about this particular model of keyboard is having problems with 3-keys combinations, in different apps, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx2FHIE8OMWYLYM/
It seems like it’s a problem on their side, some key buffer limitation :(
Is there any app you were successful with a 3-key hotkey, using it? -

The reason behind this old decision is math: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(vector_space)
And since the application is made by engineers and programmers — they used math. Alas, it’s too expensive to change from UX point of view (which is our, users’, nerves and tears).
I’d not cross my fingers on that.
