1. 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.

2. Please introduce a meaningful filter.

   Please introduce better filtering options:
   - Double story/single story g
   - Double-storey/single-storey a
   - Dynamic shapes, Passive shapes, Constructed shapes
   - Fonts by use (newspaper, book, poster)
   - Fonts with variable sizes
   - type fonts
   ...

   Your filter is currently a bit stone-age and just doesn't do the products justice. Thank you!

3. 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!

4. Show Glyphs Table in Adobe Fonts

   When browsing fonts within the Adobe Fonts web site, it would great if each font file had a table of its glyphs able to view. Often I'll visit sites such as MyFonts to see glyphs details. But not every font carried on the Adobe Fonts service can be cross-referenced at the MyFonts site.

   Thanks Bobby. Our product team has had this on our wishlist for a long time. Your submission will be super helpful in funding this project. I'll post updates here as they become available.

5. Search by theme or tags

   I'd like to be able to search for fonts that would be suitable for athletic wear by searching for smart keywords such as "athletic" or "varsity".

6. Better categorization

   Your current categorization "system" – Hallowe'en (?!), Fun, Futuristic, etc. – appeals to amateurs and is near useless to professional typesetters.

   I want to be able to see if a font has small caps, is suitable for body copy in books or is better for headlines and display, etc. It would also be great to be able to view by date designed and other typographic fine-tuning options.

   Adobe has been in the font business for many decades. I would think that you could offer far better tools to find your font offerings.

   Thanks,

   Gareth

7. 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.

8. Ability to have font moodboards

   This is similar to "favorites" but allows the option to create folders to save favorited fonts to. For example, when I start a new design project, I would like to collect/save font options to a unique folder to browse through and/or send to other Adobe CC users to view (much like moodboards on Behance).

10. More search filters, search tags, and dual filter search

    I wish we could have better tags for searching fonts, as well as using multiple filters at once. Adobe font's should just steal what dafont.com uses. It takes way too long to find a font I need on their site

11. search fonts by glyph availability

    I'm looking for a font with a full set of ligatures, which means manually copying in glyphs from elsewhere and scanning through pages and pages of fonts that don't include what I need. (84 pages of sans serif! No way I'm going to take time to click through all of these.)

    It would be awesome to have the option to automatically filter out any font that comes up with an empty glyph in the sample type, or some other way to browse only fonts that include specific glyph sets, whether it's ligatures, accents, math symbols, etc.

12. Add Bulgarian as language

    As previously reported by fellow designers - Bulgarian is missing from the dropdown menu in SearchFonts/Languages and writing systems. Not only that the Cyrillic writing system was developed in and for Bulgaria, but even in modern times many of the Cyrillic fonts are made by bulgarians like https://fonts.adobe.com/designers/botio-nikoltchev and many more. I think it's crucial to add it as a language, not only from a historical point of view, but also because the market here is huge and the need for this search option is important.

13. 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.

14. Previewing Glyphs

    Can you please add more technical information, including the ability to preview a font's full list of characters - similar to the glyph flyout menu?

    Also - please improve the search capabilities. Right now, when I need a font, I must first go to OTHER websites like fonts.com to do my research and preview the full character list. When i narrow down my choices, i then go BACK to adobe fonts and cross my fingers and hope you have what i need. For the amount of money I pay each month, this should not be my experience.

    You need to add more tags and keywords. Currently the function is limited to only searching by font name or foundry. I would like to see a search capability that i've come to know and expect (i.e. a "Google-like" search). This has been in existence at fonts.com for years, so i am baffled as to why Adobe is lagging behind.

15. more glyph visibility!!

    You need to show complete glyph map ... we purchase/activate/download much of the type we used based on the presence of specific features. Display type is often picked based on particular characters, ligatures, etc; text faces picked on the basis of features that we need (sc, osf, etc) ... today I needed type with circled numerals, but couldn't figure out a way to find that info on your site, but luckily Molly helped me out via social channels. MyFonts shows a full glyph map, and they're eating your lunch on this feature at least! It would be awesome if Adobe had this available too. Thanks! Joshua

16. Separate "font suggestions" from "no results found" in search results

    Adobe Fonts recently updated the way search results work. If there are no results for your query, recommended fonts are displayed instead. There is a disclaimer message at the top right, but it is very easy to get confused and think the desired font is somehow further down in the results. Please return the previous "no fonts found" messaging to the top of the search results, and place the font suggestions in a separate section below.

    Search has also worsened in quality recently, making search results more difficult to parse. When searching "Caslon", three rows of suggestions appear for unrelated fonts. In order to find Adobe Font's offerings for Caslon, you need to search a specific query such as "King's Caslon" or "Adobe Caslon". Even then, only that one version of the font appears. Currently, the only way I've found to review all the different types of Caslon offered is to Google "Caslon" + "Adobe Fonts". As a result, I no longer use the search feature on Adobe Fonts, and instead opt for using Google. The list on Google lacks the visual component that Adobe has, meaning it isn't a perfect solution.

    I do not mind being suggested fonts that are visually similar to what I'm looking for, but often I'm looking for something very specific, and just want to know if Adobe Fonts has it, or if I'll need to source it elsewhere. I think if the font suggestions were separated below the actual search results, it would help. At the same time, please ensure that partial queries (such as "caslon" or "garamond") pull up font results that include those queries in the title. Currently, the way the results display make it seem like Adobe's search engine doesn't understand what you're looking for. Thank you for your consideration.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Please make Favorites more findable

    Once in a while I want to view my favorited / hearted fonts. But those are hard to find.

    Why not having the Favorites page ccessible througout every page in Adobe Fonts?
