    Chris, yes, even with the 'Align to Glyph Bounds' option (located in Align panel’s flyout menu) it still is measured by em-box, which includes side-bearings — they make a space between glyphs.

    What I have though is the script that can partially ease your pain:

    Chris, there is a new Font Height Options in the latest release that almost fully address this, along with Align to Text option.

    Simon, can you explain it further, with images?

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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).

    All of this can be done using Appearance panel and saved as a preset in the Graphic Styles panels for future use.
    Add a new fill in Appearance, put it under Characters, apply Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle, choose options.
    You can change the color, corners, transparency, apply other effects...
    There is no reason to make a simplified more strict version of this, Appearance is already too simple :)

    Hope you discovered it after you requested this in 2021!

    InDesign has it... Affinity apps have it...
    In Illustrator, it gets enabled when the font has it. Take something like Roboto, and compare All Caps with actual capitals used — All Caps use more spacing.
    The thing though it’s not listed as an option in OpenType panel.
    The fact the font has to have it is fine, this should be something programmed in the font.

    Yep. It’s not only the Duplicate button though, it’s a general possibility to customize this bar...

    Jodi, the Duplicate button was not the only way to put a copy on top of it. Paste in Front (if the copied object is still selected) does exactly the same...

    But it requires using clipboard, and it can be very slow sometimes (and takes up clipboard slot in general) — that’s why this separate request to have Edit > Duplicate command exist: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34134466

    Another problem with this method occurs if you have more than one object to be duplicated. Paste in Front puts all copies in front of the topmost one, and not each one on top of their originals. Both behaviors can be useful, but only this one is allowed now. You can upvote it here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/43311579

    I’d love to have both the command and the button.
    I know there is a plugin to add the command out there, but it should be just from the box.

    Don’t get it, sorry.
    Perhaps terms are confused? Document Color Mode can be either CMYK Color or RGB Color — what’s 'Display Color Mode'?
    Or do you refer to Color Settings Profiles?

    Can you please record this on video?

    This is related to the recent function added, when Illustrator embed the preview of used fonts within a document, to allow viewing it as originally intended when shared with someone without used fonts available... but in your case it’s clearly a false alarm — the fonts are there...
    I had it once myself, so thank you for reporting it! I will pass this to the team ASAP.

    The amount of generative toys is frustrating for a lot of folks, yeah...
    But what’s wrong with alignment though? Can you actually share the problem, Pedro?
    I wish I can help, but you only shout... and if Canva does something better — share it as well, so the devs can learn something and make Ai better. Just yelling in Caps won’t help anything :(

    What do you do when it happens — is it the same operation or something new each time? How much time passes before it crashes? Does it crash when you do nothing in the app at all? When did it start happening — or is it your first time woriing with Illustrator?

    I work at scale often, and I need to be able to zoom to 1000%.
    But when I use hotkeys (Cmd/Ctrl + Plus), Ai jumps from 800% to 1200%, skipping the level I need.
    And if I access the zoom dropdown in the bottom left corner, this level is not listed there.

    Ai has the smooth zoom, but not with the wheel.
    In Preferences > Performance you can enable 'Animated Zoom' option (usually enable by default) and use Ctrl+Space to temporarily switch into the Zoom tool — and it’s smooth.
    It gets disabled often in Outline mode though, if the screen is small (GPU support Outline view mode only for large screens for some reason), so this can become irritating rather quickly. Here is a general report on this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/36129871

    Zooming using touchpad is also smooth, on both desktop platforms.
