HOW DO I GET RID OF MYRIAD FONT? FOREVER AND EVER?

HOW do I get rid of that annoying Myriad font? I need another font for my work and every time I open a new image my selected font is GONE and myriad is the only one I see. I have to then go to the other end of the alphabet to reach the font I NEED ... each and every time I open a new image. And I have over 80 images to do this week. The waiting to get through a hundred fonts to reach the one I need is abysmal. Why can't the one I need stay put and myriad keep it's nose out of my work?

Thanks

    I’m testing version 27.0.0 on Windows 11. Photoshop retains the last used font as the default, even after closing and restarting the application. Which version are you using, and on which platform?

    this has become a serious hassle. fonts in general are a nightmare. especially considering their importance.

    For MacOS, you simply open Fontbook  and disable Myriad Pro by right or Ctrl - clicking on its' name in the fontlist. It is then dimmed, marked as Off and not available System wide.

    You don't mention what version of Photoshop you have, but you can add fonts to your Favorites in the recent versions of PS

    Close all files in Photoshop.

    Open the Preferences, and turn off "Show "Start" Workspace when no documents are open"

    Restart Photoshop.

    The tools panel is now available. Without any open file, select the text tool.

    Change the font. Close Photoshop.

    Restart Photoshop, show the "start" workspace if you need it, and from that point forward your selected font will be the default font.
