Allow shared management of font web projects
Allow shared management of font web projects. without this ability you can lose access to web projects if someone leaves the team, etc. It also makes it hard to add font weights, verify ownership, etc.
I can't create a shared dummy account either due to cost issues.

Improve font manager
Could you allow collapsing all font family names at once in the font manager, please? It is not productive to collapse one by one, and the view of everything expanded by default is very bad. Thanks!

Allow users to hide fonts that they don't want in the dropdown menu.
Users should be able to 'hide' fonts that they don't want to see in the drop down menu. System fonts like 'Noto Sans' essentially divide the whole menu with a large number of fonts that can't be deleted from the system. Having the ability to hide these fonts is the solution that many people have been asking for, but for some reason both adobe and apple have ignored the problem.

Collapse Families by default anywhere fonts are managed
On the Adobe Fonts website, when looking at Active Fonts, every font is listed by default, grouped by family. When trying out fonts in a design, these can add up quickly, especially if you're trying different weights.
It would be immensely helpful when attempting to clean up, rather than nuking ALL the fonts (which may be a nice feature for some, but I do have a few I keep around for most projects), it would be nice if the families were collapsed by default.
An inline summary of the number of fonts in each family should be added to more…

Thanks Seth. This makes a lot of sense and I've heard similar feedback through other channels. I'll keep you updated as we start to investigate how improvements can be made.

Rename and duplicate web font projects
I would like the ability to rename existing web font projects. I would also like the ability to duplicate existing web font projects.
Being unable to rename an existing web font project introduces risk and (what I think is) unnecessary busy-work to my web-based projects.
My company publishes educational curricula to variety of platforms both printed and digital. All are produced as HTML templates which are proofed in a web browser and which rely upon Adobe web fonts for their typography.
It is quite common that we don’t know at the onset of a project how many versions and platforms…

Provide sort and filter options
Suggestion: provide options to sort, and ideally to filter (live search) the lists of active and previously active fonts in the Creative Cloud app.
At a minimum, I'd suggest the lists be sorted alphabetically as standard. Looking at my active fonts, the order appears arbitrary at first, but I believe it must be the order in which I activated them, which I don't think is useful.

Adobe should have a true font-management tool, something which allows one to manage all fonts stored on a Mac/PC
Adobe should have a true font-management tool, something which allows one to manage all fonts stored on a Mac/PC. Such a tool can dramatically improve font workflow -- I've been using Maintype 11, and it's great, but Adobe should have their own tool like that.
Yes, Adobe does have a very lightweight and feature-lacking "half-tool" for managing fonts, but it's kind of a joke, and lacks almost all the features I would want to see -- it's not a true font-manager at all; it only lets you install or uninstall fonts from the fonts.adobe.com website, and doesn't let you arbitrarily…

Individual Tags or Folders
I would really appreciate it, if there was a better way to manage fonts. Having all fonts in a list, all families expanded no less, requires me to scroll through everything when I am looking for something particular I cannot remember the name of. And when I go through them one by one I have to click on every item on the list to be given a preview, no using my downward key to save time.
If there were a way to allow for the creation and use of tags or folders, it would be an immense time saver.

Activating fonts for non-Adobe apps
God almighty, please, especially now that Adobe bought Figma, let me bulk activate fonts for non-Adobe apps in CC without having to MANUALLY check every variant of a font I want to sync.
I am holding back a lot of contempt for the product managers at Adobe who thought of this feature. Quintessentially a sample of gratuitous suffering that the Adobe team has gotten us used to as paying customers.

Fully integrate adobe fonts to the CC app, or build management in to the web app.
The duality and split personalities of browsing/activating fonts from the web, but managing them in the CC app functions poorly and is frustrating. You start your search in the App where your tools are centralized. It sends you to the web to browse. Then it sends you back to CC to manage your installed fonts and— no, it doesn't. 'Manage fonts' leads to a black hole. Eventually you find the options in their poor location in CC. But, there are conflicts with local fonts you had installed. Then things start getting really weird—fonts fail to activate or deactivate, and you…

Have the fonts that are activated online actually show up in the software!
It would be amazing if the fonts that I am forced to activate online would actually show up in the software!! Once they are activated, I get to use them! There are many times I reopen my project and the fonts are missing even though Adobe says they are activated in the cloud. Amazing theory but their software doesn't initiate them. Perhaps the developers should focus on having them work.

additional font tags
Would love to see 3 new tags.
- Condensed - including all fonts that are tall and thin, regardless of font style and including but not exclusively fonts labeled "condensed" and "compressed". (examples-Birch, Niagara, and Bee, also Alternate Gothic Condensed and Compressed)
Extended - including all fonts that are short and wide, regardless of font style and including but not exclusively fonts labeled "Extended". (examples-Blackoak, Madrone, and HWT Tuscan Extended, Milka, Modesto Expanded, Neuzon Regular, Viva Std Bold Extra Extended.)
Square - All fonts with squared corners, regardless of font style, whether or not the corners are sharp, whether or not…

Version Control in Adobe fonts
The ability to manage the different versions of the fonts in a specific admin console, for company accounts, to define which version must be used by the end users in the company and, if needed, force the font update in all the end user machines.
This is requested because when fonts are updated and the changes are related with kerning or characters, inside a company with several layout designers, can lead to different results because different users can have different versions of a font.
Related with this request, users should be informed when a font is updated in Adobe Fonts5 votes -
Fonts Should Not "Expire"
It's very annoying and time-consuming to open a document and be told that all fonts included are inactive. Then I have to open up the Creative Cloud app, the fonts webpage, etc. to go "renew" or re-download the fonts.
Bonus: None of this has worked and even after uninstalling and reinstalling the fonts, InDesign still says they are inactive.
Bonus 2: How are these fonts "expired"? I work with these fonts in the same document at least once a month, and I have for the past two years.
This is such a waste of time. If I was a freelancer…

Adobe Font - Install in Non-Adobe Apps
Please make fonts automatically install in non-adobe apps like before. I noticed the fonts are not showing up in my third party font manager any longer and after lots of restarting and re-syncing i realized there was a change in service.
This is a terrible user experience. it now feels like i have to activate everything twice one by one.
At least put a preference so we can get future fonts to install everywhere. Rather than have to individually change them.

Not able to "actually" activate a font
Fonts automatically disappeared in my illustrator very often and I was not able to call them back.
(Very frustrating issues, especially in ongoing projects...)I tried to activate a font through Adobe fonts website and Creative Cloud many times, but both of them failed.
(My computer, illustrator, and creative cloud apps are all new and new updated.)What happened often was that I activated the whole family of fonts, but only some of them was activated.
For example, I tried to activate "Questa Sans" Family with 10 fonts included, but only 9 of them were actually activated and able to…

A separate fontmanager.
A sturdy and failsafe fontmanager, apart from the CC app. With sets, folders, rankings. This makes it more easy to activate / deactivate font sets per project.
