How do I search for Adobe fonts (Typekit) out of Indesign?

Hi – I'm using ID 14.0.3 and I want to add fonts from Typekit (now called Adobe Fonts). There used to be a button I could push while in ID, but I don't see this anymore. I see a button for Bridge and AdobeStock at the top. Now I have to go in through the Creative Cloud app and activate fonts via that route. Unfortunately, this is a bit annoying because very often CC says it's taking longer than usual to open and advises me to relaunch. 

 

I'm using the latest version of CC on an imac. Mojave 10.14.6.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I just find it a bit odd I have to move outside the application to activate the fonts. Doesn't seem terribly fluid to me, but perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks in advance.

I think you mean this button when you are selecting a font?

 

Unfortunately it’s gone in the new version, which is too bad—I used it all the time. I’ve resorted to adding this Applescript to my scripts folder and assigning a key command

 

 

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	make new document with properties {URL:"https://fonts.adobe.com/my_fonts/"}
end tell

    (sad face). I was afraid it had been removed. Thanks for confirming this for me. And thanks for the Script (happy face).

    Thanks. I had reviewed this previously, but it wasn't quite what I wanted. Rob (below) answered my question.
