    Hello,

    We have started working on the tech that allows us to enable the following:

    • Ability to convert the outlined/expanded text back to live text.
    • Ability to lock objects to a character/glyph of a live text, allowing users to change the text (properties) while the object stays locked into the character.

    As we work through the complexities of handling different font families, font size, and other font properties, we would love to meet with you and share our thinking around it and understand :

    • Your use cases and workflows that this feature will help you with.
    • What is most essential for you.
    • The workarounds that you currently use to achieve this.

    If you are interested, please pick a time slot that works for you using this link. https://calendly.com/meetai/60min?month=2023-01

    When converting customer-supplied logos into vector artwork I often need to match their fonts (sometimes easier than others). I use the website WhatTheFont which does a good job, a feature like this would be very useful within illustrator. Select the area of an image click "find font" and illustrator suggests what it thinks are the correct fonts, either within your own font list, Adobe Fonts or other external websites.
