1. 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!

2. Custom Tagging to Organize Fonts by Project or Brand

   Although I like being able to "HEART" a font, it's one dimensional to my needs.

   I would like to be able to create a "TAG" or a "FOLDER" so that as I'm researching Adobe fonts for a project, I can virtually/dynamically organize them into that "TAG". Then, when in InDesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator, I can filter fonts to show just those associated with that TAG/FOLDER.

   This would be helpful if you're jumping into and out of various brands that use different Typefaces.

   You could better organize groups of fonts by Brand or Project and get to them faster.

3. Ability to centrally manage Adobe "cloud fonts" in an Enterprise environment.

   1. I can manage fonts I have purchased OUTSIDE of Adobe, and deploy them to all workstations.

   2. Individual users can navigate to https://fonts.adobe.com/ and add Adobe fonts to their workstation.

   but.... as an Enterprise Administrator I do not have the ability to designate which workstations, or if all workstations, should have particular fonts from https://fonts.adobe.com/ already installed on the workstation.

   I would like to select a font (like Futura PT), and have it automatically load on workstations when the users sign in - without their need to intervene.

   In our environment consistency between workstations is imperative. Even though a user has the ability to manage Adobe fonts themselves (if they know how), If I KNOW a font should be installed, it can save time and reduce stress in a deadline or time sensitive situation by resolving this in advance.

   We hope to build a solution for organizing and sharing fonts in the near future. I'll make sure the team knows that Enterprise functionality would be a valuable addition.

4. 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 immediately indicate to users how many fonts are actually being listed (by family). This is already in the CC app for managing Active fonts, but it doesn't collapse families by default.

   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.

5. 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 of a given curriculum we might have, but we need to be able to clearly communicate the distinct purpose and version of a given web font project as that curriculum grows and evolves into different platforms or iterations.

   For example, most recently we started a project for a curriculum intended for print publishing I’ll call My English Lessons. I created a web project called My English Lessons Fonts in Adobe Fonts and used the corresponding ID in the HTML templates for that curriculum. Because the final form of this project was intended for printing, not web hosting, there were a bunch of typographic needs specific to book publishing (like page numbers, title pages, running heads) that we supported in the My English Lessons Fonts web project. The project had 15 fonts, total. A few of the texts mentioned in the curriculum had Spanish characters, so we had to dial in the specific language support settings for each font in the project, too.

   When we found out that we were going to be publishing My English Lessons online, we needed a new version of the fonts project, but without all the extra typography that would make a web site ungainly to load.

   We needed to give this new version of the My English Lessons Fonts web project a name — like My English Lessons Website Fonts — that was specific to the web, so that the purpose of the web project was clear. To prevent any confusion as to the purpose of the original web project, we also needed to rename the original fonts project to My English Lessons Book Fonts.

   To accomplish this with the current Adobe Fonts feature set, I had to create a new web project for My English Lessons Book Fonts and manually add all 15 fonts/weights/styles, each with their own font family settings, emulating My English Lessons Fonts. It’s very easy to miss a weight or style, so I had two browser windows with my Manage Fonts settings side by side, so that I can compare. The font lists don’t fit on a single screen even on a sizable monitor, so there is much scrolling and loss of context as the weights/styles get separated from the names of the font family.

   I then have to replace the My English Lessons Fonts ID with the My English Lessons Book Fonts ID in my HTML templates. I try to keep the place where that is necessary to only one line of code, but that can’t always be the case for reasons.

   For a period of time, I have to maintain both My English Lessons Fonts and My English Lessons Book Fonts in my Adobe Fonts projects as the HTML templates go through the code review, QA, and deployment process. Once the updated templates are live, I can delete the now obsolete My English Lessons Fonts project from Adobe Fonts.

   Then I have to create a new web font project manually for My English Lessons Website Fonts making sure to manually add only the fonts/weights/styles that are necessary for content.

   My brain explodes when I think I might need to do this all again exponentially because we introduce a version 2 and need to include a version number or year or something in the web project names.

   With the ability to (at the very least) rename and (ideally) duplicate an existing web project, I wouldn’t have to know the future of a project at inception. I could have accomplished the evolution of a single generically named project to two variants of that project — and not had to do any code updates!!! — in less time than it’s taken me to write this darn feature request.

   I hope you seriously consider this feature request! I’m not sure how practical it would be for us to continue using Adobe web fonts projects at scale, otherwise.

6. Let us use our fonts on mobile apps for Android

   For Android apps, it seems additional fonts are disabled. It would be really nice to be able to use any Adobe font on Android apps. All of them, but for example it would be nice to make an ad on Adobe Express from wherever I am without having to use a computer. It's 2022, a lot of professionals are on the go all the time. Be nice to be able to crank out an ad at the drop of a hat with the fonts the company I work for actually uses without having to drag a clunky laptop everywhere or use the janky browser app that cuts off half of the workspace.
