Fonts not displaying in Illustrator

Version Illustrator 30.1 - Windows 11 Pro 23H2

My fonts work on most of my Adobe apps, but not in Illustrator. 

Not sure how many times I need to post how bad the fonts system is. No week goes by, where I dont run into some crap with Adobe fonts. 

I now only see 5 fonts in my Illustrator drop down for fonts. It worked normally just a few days ago. All other apps work fine (for now). When I click any of them, nothing happens. It doesnt apply the font either. 
 
I cant do my work properly any longer since I constantly have these Adobe font issues. 

I AM SOOOOOOOOOO FED UP.

Have you tried some of the common trouble-shooting steps to deal with sync issues involving Adobe Fonts?

 

The easiest step to try is opening the Creative Cloud desktop app, signing out of the Creative Cloud account, re-booting the computer and then signing back into the account again. That step can force the fonts list to re-sync. More stubborn problems can be fixed by deleting the font data cache file and forcing the computer to rebuild it. Similar discussions threads in this forum mention other possible solutions.
