Question
Does AdobeCC have an actual Font-Management program?
Does Adobe have an actual font-manager? I ask because I have a vast library of installed fonts, and it's a PAIN in the ( * ) to scroll through them or even make sense of them.
I've been using a font-management program called NexusFonts, which lets me tag my fonts and organize them into collections. That program does exactly what I want, but it's freeware, and so it's glitchy, and the interface leaves a lot to be desired. I can't believe that Adobe doesn't have anything comparable -- and yet, if they do, I've never seen it.

What Adobe "does" have is a really crappy "font manager" built-into the AdobeCC Desktop App. This font manager has ZERO features, and all it really does is serve as a portal to push you into downloading new fonts from Adobe's online portal. It doesn't let me tag my installed fonts, or organize them in any fashion. It only seems to be concerned with what fonts are available in the Adobe Cloud, which I really don't care about -- and even if I did, it doesn't let me organize them or tag them or make sense of them in any way. I mean, don't get me wrong, the fonts.adobe.com website has quite a variety of tools to search for exactly the right font for a project -- but then, after I choose to install that font, the font-manager in the AdobeCC Desktop App is beyond useless in helping me locate that font again when I might want it.
I'm just looking for a system which will allow me to manage my fonts -- whether they're installed on my PC, or whether they're in the Adobe Cloud. I want it to see all the fonts which will surface in any Adobe app on my PC. I want it to let me tag fonts with meaningful descriptors, and search for those tags later; I want it to let me create arbitrary "collections" of fonts (which is useful for keeping track of what fonts I've used in various projects over the years); I want it to manage what fonts are currently installed in the Windows Fonts folder, while also keeping track of fonts installed in a separate offline "fonts library." These are all very useful features, and there are other programs that do these things. Nexus Fonts is one such program, but it's glitchy. I can't believe that Adobe has never bothered to create something along those lines. Have they?
