PLEASE play nice with Connect Fonts! It is a giant PIA to launch Creative Cloud and activate Adobe Fonts there! Every designer I know uses Connect Fonts to manage their fonts - come on!

Some good news: As of mid-November, 2023, I have confirmation that the Adobe Fonts dev team has reached out to Extensis and they are working to fix the problems introduced by the Summer 2023 update to Fonts.

Adobe Fonts intrusive misbehavior is counter-productive in book and long document design in particular. In InDesign, it is now essential to turn off "Auto-activate Adobe fonts" to avoid show-stopping conflicts that make it impossible to activate some fully licensed (residing on local machine) fonts that are also in Adobe Fonts. Similar conflicts occur with Google fonts, which are automatically handled by Connect Fonts until interfered with by Adobe Fonts, and ANY activated locally-installed fonts.
In tl;dr form: Adobe Fonts conflicts with Connect Fonts auto-activation and font management.
