P: Photoshop loads new fonts very slowly or requires app restart

Hello,

I have encountered an issue with Photoshop (Beta) regarding font recognition:

  • Version of the app: Photoshop (Beta) – latest version from Creative Cloud

  • Platform and OS version: Windows 11

  • Steps to reproduce the problem:

    1. Open Photoshop (Beta).

    2. Install or activate new fonts (either local or via Adobe Fonts).

    3. Go back to Photoshop (Beta) and try to use the new fonts.

  • Expected result: The new fonts should appear immediately in the font list without needing to restart the app.

  • Actual result: Photoshop (Beta) does not show the new fonts right away. I must restart the application for the fonts to appear. This happens consistently, whereas in Photoshop 2021 the fonts load instantly as expected.

This issue slows down my workflow significantly. Please advise if there is a workaround or if this is a known bug being addressed.

Thank you!

The newest version of non-beta version is doing this, too. It's very frustrating.
