Scaling with conditional text

Required Font Usage Pallet In Floatting with adjustable size
The Font Usage or Find/Replace Font windows need to be redesigned as like link panel. This existing window/dialogue box is not user friendly.
List of issues which has to be addressed:
The windows is not sizable, so if we have a font with lengthy name, then some characters will be hidden at the end.
We can only view 7 fonts at a time, so if a document uses more that this count. We need to scroll for long way and which is a tedious task. That portion of window should be sizable as like link pallet.
Once we accessed the…2 votes -

Hyperlink Window Add-on Feature
I know i'm not the only one who uses the typography workspace. But when creating an interactive PDF or E-Catalog of sorts hyperlinks can be one of the finest features. The problem: editing said hyperlinks. Not the editing of the links themselves but the fact that in order to we have to have our type cursor in or on the link. What about adding a button in the hyperlink window to speed up workflow for individuals who use the hyperlinks exclusively?

Ability to create a custom Glyph
I need to insert in text symbols that appear on products - I have the symbols as an image which can easily be converted into bitmap/eps or whatever is needed in Photoshop.
It would be nice to be able to great a custom Glyph set and create your own library of regularly used symbols - I have about 200 of them from the technical writing I do. Inserting them and getting them to "stay put" is very time consuming and it would-be much easier if they worked just like putting in a symbol from a wingdings font or similar. It…2 votes -
A customisable list of acronyms and words that the program can be made to use
I know that there is the ability to use a user dictionary which I use, but it would be nice if there was a exceptions list to put works in that would stop the autocorrect trying to change them or if they are put in - incorrectly they are changed to the right version. For example ISO seems to end up as Iso or ISo even though its been added to the user dictionary and Auto correct and There are some American words that I have to use as they are product related - Customization rather than customisation.

Glyph preference
Hello,
I've encountered a problem where a client is requesting all glyphs for the letter 'g' be changed to an alternate glyph within the same typeface.
Whilst style and GREP methods might work, a method to be able to quickly change the default primary glyph within a set would be amazing.
Currently I can see a small triangle in the corner of the primary used glyph within the glyph window, but would love to be able to move that to the alternate version for that font on that machine within InDesign.
Thank you.

Change character in default font
I'm looking for a way to change a character in my default font. I use the font family Proxima Nova (an Adobe font, what I have activated). In InDesign you can choose between two character for the letter 'a'. There I can change the font with find glyph en replace it for the other one.
It would be awesome to set that letter 'a' as a default 'a' in that typefont. Because this is an extra action I make for all my designs. Is there a way to change a character and set it as my default character in that…

Touch type tool for Opentype feature does not show up while setting the paragraph in "Adobe World-Ready Single-line/ Paragraph Composer"
Touch type tool for Opentype feature does not show up while setting the paragraph in "Adobe World-Ready Single-line/ Paragraph Composer". The script, in this case, found while using Thai with the Opentype font with alternate glyphs.
We can access the feature, but have to go through the top right hamburger conner to select the stylistic set manually. It is disturbing work-flow while typing in bilingual languages; Thai and Latin.

Exclude specified paragraph or character style/s from spellcheck
Allow us to exclude from the spellcheck text with a specific paragraph or character style/s applied to it.
2 possible ways:
1. a tick box in the paragraph or character style settings to say 'exclude from spellcheck'
or 2. a field in the spellcheck window where you could nominate which styles to exclude.
I think the first option would be the better one. it may be a good idea to have with it an alert in preflight 'these styles have been excluded from spellcheck:...' in case the box is left ticked accidentally.This way we can exclude things like product…

Footnotes and Endnotes
1a. Export as RichTextFormat ... should include Footnotes and Endnotes.
1b. Export as HTML ... should include hyperlinked Footnotes and Endnotes.
1c. Should have option to convert Footnotes and Endnotes to static text. This option should also be available when exporting as per above.
1d. Above exports should also include any images that are part of the text flow, with an option of converting them to JPEG at a particular resolution.
2. This would save having to muck around with the HTML code, or manually create static endnote numbers.2 votes -
Paragraph Rules in Find/Change
Please add Paragraph Rules to the Find Change dialog box. I often need to change rule thickness or color to paragraph rules that are not in a paragraph or character style. Manually changing each selection takes quite a bit of time and should be automated. Thanks!

Clear All Style Sets—Right from the Style Set Menu
Since there are a lot of windows to get to the OpenType Style Sets, we need a button that can clear all the opentype features we've tried out. This can be put into the Stylistic Sets Menu. (See attached picture.)
This isn't just valuable to me. This is valuable to:
1. Other users can feel free to use style sets, knowing that they can quickly clear all options, not spend minutes clicking through menus—Just to turn something off!
2. Font designers might add more features into their fonts if the features are easier to use.
3. You've already made that…2 votes -

Global Text Edit Across Multiple File Instances
A way to update one Master File, that populates multiple files.
One product > multiple instances
By changing text on "1" it would update the same text in the same spot for the different instances "1a,1b,1c"
1 > 1a > 1b > 1c

Variable font issues with named instances 'Regular' and 'Book'
A variable font including instances named 'Book' and 'Regular' breaks the functionality of the instance 'Regular'. Slider change does not change the weight of the font. The same font works well in Adobe Illustrator.

Kurdish Language Spelling
Hello!
Adobe InDesign has many users writing and experiencing the Central Kurdish language which are living and a great part population of Iraq which is the Kurdistan Region, but unfortunately, the Kurdish language spelling dictionary isn't available in InDesign.
I hope you can add an option for users writing with this language to let InDesign get their phrases and sentences to be added to the Kurdish language dictionary and be available for other users.
Or if you create a translation web page to add the Kurdish language phrase and sentence spellings to be available in Adobe InDesign and other adobe…2 votes -
1. Warping fonts easily like Aldus Typetwister or Typstyler. Preset by user for easy re-use. 2. Valuable for better design.
Adobe already owns Typetwister when it bought Aldus. Just incorporate it into InDesign. Welcome back to 1990.
