P: Feature Request: Add a filter for local fonts (AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Fonts) in the Font Panel

To the Photoshop Development Team,

 

I am writing to you as a professional Photoshop user to highlight a functional gap that I find critical for anyone managing large font libraries.

 

Currently, Photoshop integrates fonts from the AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fonts folder by mixing them indiscriminately with Windows system fonts in the "Your Fonts" panel. This makes testing new characters extremely difficult and time-consuming when dealing with hundreds or thousands of installed fonts.

My Proposal: It would be immensely helpful to include a specific section or filter (similar to the existing ones for "Serif," "Adobe Fonts," etc.) that allows users to display only the fonts manually loaded into the local Adobe folder.

 

In the current version (26.2), it is impossible to isolate these fonts as a group or bulk-add them to favorites after a search. This is because the system relies solely on internal metadata and does not provide a way to filter based on the source folder.

 

I am certain this implementation would be enthusiastically received by a vast number of users who, like myself, require an isolated "test" area for their creative projects, separate from the clutter of system fonts.

 

Do you have plans to improve local font management in upcoming releases of the software?

I look forward to your response and thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Best regards

I am not Adobe Staff, but have you tried assigning Favorite status to those typefaces, then displaying only Favorites?

 

Your post is in Ideas, so the Photoshop team will see it and others can upvote it. Adobe does not pre-announce their future plans.
