Feature Request - Preview a Font's Characters, Glyphs, etc.

Hi, 

Can you please add more technical information, including the ability to preview a font's full list of characters - similar to the glyph flyout menu?

Also - please improve the search capabilities. Right now, when I need a font, I must first go to OTHER websites like fonts.com to do my research and preview the full character list. When i narrow down my choices, i then go BACK to adobe fonts and i cross my fingers and hope you have what i need. For the amount of money I pay each month, this should not be my experience. 

You need to add more tags and keywords. Currently the function is limited to only searching by font name or foundry. I would like to see a search cabability that i've come to know and expect (i.e. a "Google-like" search). This has been in existance at fonts.com for years, so i am baffled as to why Adobe is lagging behind.

      The link you provided just takes me to the main page. Did my feature request and the upvotes/comments get carried over to this new platform or do I have to start from scratch again?

      Multiple requests have been made for the Adobe Fonts page to feature a glyphs table (and other technical info) for the fonts hosted on the site. Here's a link from one request I made in the user voice forum a while back:

      I'd like to see the same kind of thing, at least an option to view the glyphs contained in each font file. I often go to the MyFonts web site to cross reference fonts I'd like to sync because they have the technical details available. But MyFonts doesn't cover everything carried on the Adobe Fonts service.
