Illustrator no longer updating when new fonts added, without restarting.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if it has been removed. But while loaded, Illustrator no longer seems to update the fonts list, if a new font is installed. Meaning a restart of Illustrator is necessary, if you want the newly installed fonts to show.

It used to do it, but now it needs a restart.

I'm not using beta. The stable version was updated 6 days ago without fixing the fonts not updating issue.

Latest Beta (30.0.91 and newer) fixed it for me

OK, to update anyone who might be following.

I updated to the latest current (at time of posting) version 30.0.91 and it's working again!!

Tengo todo el dia revisando este problema. mi solucion ha sido instalar la version 29.7.1 y desactivar las actualizaciones automaticas de illustrator en Creative Cloud. Miestras Adobe soluciona el problema

This is still happening and is very annoying. This was a bad move to remove this feature. I also stinks of Adobe purposefully trying to make it inconvenient to use fonts outside their own ecosystem.
