I am glad to remind all who voted for this feature that it is now possible to set a font size as x-height or cap height with Show Font Height Options toggle enabled in Character panel menu.
Some issues still remain, yes, like, wrong size calculation if a font has rounded stems that end below baseline (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44639661-font-height-options-misbehave-with-rounded-fonts), or inability to focus the dropdown with Tab (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41836618-font-height-options-tab-order), or calculating font height by measuring glyphs instead of reading the actual value within the font (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41615035-cap-height-setting-not-using-font-cap-height), but overall this is done, works, and super cool, don’t you think?

An error occurred while saving the comment The setting doesn’t stick to a text object. After the application is restarted (or even document is reopened), it falls back to Em Box for each one of them :( This is not convenient.
An error occurred while saving the comment Don’t forget to include these to Paragraph and Character Styles windows, please.
An error occurred while saving the comment The space is missing in the 'Default (Em Box)' option in the Font Height drop-down menu in Character panel
An error occurred while saving the comment Please add custom-assignable hotkeys for these commands (in 'Other Text' section, blank by default):
— Highlight font height using Default (Em Box)
— Highlight font height using Cap-Height
— Highlight font height using x-Height
— Highlight font height using ICF box
So pressing a hotkey would change the 'Font Height' option to the chosen one and then set the cursor to the 'Font Size' field.
This would allow to quickly set the height by the option needed from the keyboard, without changing it with the mouse.An error occurred while saving the comment There's a script that helps with setting both x-height and cap height.

Search for WR-capitalSize and then modify it to use any symbol you want.
Still it's much needed thing in AI from the box.An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry, I found your big comment in other request, you seem to already know about these scripts.
I totally agree about UPM and other dimensions all fonts already have, and AI's inability to give access to them.
I would also like to have these sizes to be visible as guides when using Smart guides for a live text.An error occurred while saving the comment Bobby, I can advise using scripts that set cap-height and x-height, based on measuring actual outlines of specified letters, by Wolfgang's Reszel.
Again :)
VotedAn error occurred while saving the comment x-height and Cap-height topic again.
Search for Wolfgang's Reszel scripts (Cap Height) and see if it can help you. I've also modified a copy of it for x-height editing too.An error occurred while saving the comment I guess you have never these pictures:

You seem to not knowing much about things you do. 'Print size'? What kind of ignoramus are you? Fonts are much more complicated than your understanding of it.
But the problem is still there. I have scripts, based on Wolfgang's Reszel scripts, to set x-height and cap-height (and digit size, which is frequently different from a cap-height), based on realtime measurement of height of 'z' and 'Z' outlines (as common 'flat-surfaced' letters), but there would be so much profit if AI could allow to measure and set these, based on values included into font itself.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment A user should be able to use predefined colors for new artboards, that is correct. I know people who prefer black, who hates yellow, who always stick to default blues, who would like to have inverse edges, relative to the artwork beneath (!).
Having a blue art in a blue colored layer forces me to switch it way to much :( -

An error occurred while saving the comment Josh, just tried, and was able to drag and drop the swatch from the opened Swatches panel to the Gradient panel behind it, just hovering the dragged swatch at the caption to let the other panel to open.
Does it work for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment It''s all Bridge’s fault (I suspect). Before it Windows showed all previews just fine.
Christo, Ardfry PSD Codec will help you. It works 98% of all cases. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, Mark, that is very kind of you :)
And I can’t but agree with it :DThere any many users here like me here, who try to help AI to get better (or just suffer and want it to be fixed), and some do their part at the Adobe forums and in various communities. You are one of us, so thank you for the heads up. Let’s hope that UV will make a change.
An error occurred while saving the comment No, Mark, it is not. It’s a side-efect of this, and the team is aware of it and searches for the solution.
It’s all about the resolution and assumption that 1 inch has 72points in it, the legacy resolution Ai has no ways to customize. This leads to 100% on print displayed wrong, so an option was made to make it look right... which breaks pixel preview. At least you are aware now :(An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, it does. Try to disable 'Display Print Size at 100% Zoom' in Preferences as a workaround. Does it fix that?

An error occurred while saving the comment Now I get it, thank you for the explanation.
Can I think of it as an 'automation relinking problem'? So that Ai would be able to auto-relink files by their name in a selected folder (which it now can’t do, unlike InDesign).
There is an existing request for this, although it does not state that specific reason for links to loose their paths.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Jeff, can you give a bit more details on this?
Why do you want to have this conversion? Why only this? Is there a practical difference? I’m afraid I never had issues with protocols.
Yeah, Bobby, you are right, the measuring is done by actual glyph measuring. This leads to the exact problem you assumed with the rounded stems with overshoots below the baseline — I learned it the hard way. Actually I hoped that Illustrator will grab the font data to set font height... but I now have doubts. If this information is available, why then the team decided to to the measuring instead? Only because these were the steps I demonstrated? I very much doubt. May be there is no such data in a font and I was wrong all along?
As for the alignment... There is a request for that, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41485519
You commented for it, but never voted. Please do, every voice matters. It’d be great if you also voted for other request.
