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 to go back to the web site to troubleshoot.
I shouldn't have browser windows and cc app windows open to do one task. Don't you use these apps? In an enterprise environment, with limitations on web access and web apps? Don't you find it ridiculous to use? Time is money in our world, isn't it in yours?

Same problem. Adobe font management is a mess.
Trying to install a font on my desktop for use in Illustrator took me 2 hours trying to get around the "Unable to launch Creative Cloud app" alert on the website. I had to give up and find the font through other means.
And another thing... Rajniji, with respect, he doesn't need to give you "troubleshooting steps". That's a lazy copy paste response. He is giving valuable feedback and like me will probably not return to this thread. And like me, probably looking to replace our adobe apps with ones that provide actual value for money. There... I said it.

Hi Michael - can you provide some details on the troubleshooting steps you take on the website?
