Feature Request-Collapse all font families

It's annoying how I have to go into Adobe Fonts and collapse each font family separately, one by one, especially when I have quite a few fonts installed.

Can't you just have a checkbox to each of the font families so we can select whichever ones we want to deactivate, with the option to also collapse each checked font family?

The lack of this sort of basic functionality (which should not be difficult to implement at all) is a huge time-waster for anyone who uses Adobe Fonts.

So. F***ing. Annoying. Give a s**t, Adobe.

I think team Adobe are blanket ignoring all of us on this topic. As @PinkyMacDougal quite rightly pointed out, no competition equates to no need to anwser to their customers! Even though I loathe Canva and the likes, hopefully they'll get Adobe thinking about client retention more!

Yea I've cancelled my Adobe subscription and moved on. It's small quality
of life things on top of their forcing AI-gen credits on me that have
pushed me away from Adobe from now on. Ciao guys!

Curious. What programs/apps do you use and what do you do with it?

Yes, PLEASE make this happen. It's such a hassle to have to scroll so much when a bunch of fonts are open.

Pleeeeeease!!!! This is a huge waste of my life. I'm sure I speak for many designers suffering in silence. Maybe if Quark came back, then Adobe would have some competition and get this done? lol. They have the corner on this market and don't seem to care about solving something this simple. Canva is starting to look tempting.

I would really like to see this happen. It's a huge time waste to sit there and close fonts to see what in and whats not. Fonts are hard enough to deal with, without having to scroll though this list. Please please please please have it open with fonts collapsed.

3-1/2 years later we're STILL waiting for this and no follow-up from the Adobe team...actually not surprised because we've already given them our money

You would think that hopefully someone on their team is actually using this software and should be writing down when things aren't easily navigated so they can fix it.... but clearly not.

Another problem with the fonts list in the CC desktop app: it needs a proper scroll bar -one that stays visible and usable. I have to use a scroll wheel on a mouse to go down the list. If I'm using a Wacom tablet my only option is using the arrow keys on the keyboard. With all the type families in the list auto-expanded to show all styles that leads to a great deal of manual scrolling.

Furthermore, I notice that the Manage Fonts feature has now been removed from fonts.adobe.com and is now only accessible from the CC app, which is absurd! The UI on the CC app is restrictive and clunky, and why would users want to jump from a website to an app to manage assets!? Keep them on the website! Seriously Adobe, UX/UI should be second nature to you guys. Obviously you're going the way of MS!

It's absolutely rediculous when very basic things like this get overlooked. Is there literally NOBODY on the adobe team who is actually using these products? I think if even 1 person was using this they would immediately say "Oh.... this is really bad, this needs fixed.". It's so strange to me.

I have over 5,000 fonts activated and have to scroll thru them all to find what I need. At the least, there should be a search feature.

I second this. How was this overlooked in the first place, and how has it not been rectified yet? There's some irony that Adobe, or all corporations, ignore general/basic UX principles across all of their online platforms. Adobe Fonts' interface needs extensively revising, ground up! Sorry to moan, but this kind of oversight drives me crazy 😄
