how do I view the entire glyph set online of an Adobe font? BIG Concern. The more that I examine this interface to more I see the BIG weaknesses.

Hello @skiph23010641, for now this isn’t possible on our website. Please add your vote to this feature request so we can help prioritize this work https://adobefonts.uservoice.com/forums/940222-adobe-fonts-feature-requests-and-feedback/suggestions... 

 

A workaround is to Add the font, and use Illustrator (for example) to view them in the Glyphs panel.

I posted a feature request some time back for Adobe Fonts to include a glyphs table for fonts available in the service. It's not a great work-around, but I'll often visit the MyFonts web site (or another online fonts store) to look up glyphs of a typeface I'm considering syncing. It's a little easier than activating a type family, looking at the glyphs table within an application like Adobe Illustrator and then deactivating the family if it lacks some desired features.

Tnx for your input. For decades, because of time constraints, I have not
commented - but now the inability to browse the glyphs of Adobe fonts that
are available but not synced combined with the fact that Adobe does not
offer a printable pdf catalog of the fonts they offer, to speed up the
selection process, has become a large frustration. Further, I have spent
hours talking to the Bridge tech team about the problems with several of
the latest versions of Bridge. The problems are not getting fixed. This
lack of responsiveness frustrates this 30+ year user.

Glyphs tables for fonts at the Adobe Fonts web site would be really convenient. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen anyone offering printed catalogs or print-able PDF catalogs of font libraries in a long time. Some individual foundries have them while others avoid them out of security concerns, such as people trying to harvest font data out of the PDF files.

 

I don't mind previewing fonts on a computer screen these days since modern displays are far better than the primitive, lower resolution CRT monitors that were in use when printed typeface catalogs were common. Back then fonts were far more primitive as well, usually limited to a 256 glyph maximum. Modern fonts often contain several hundred or even thousands of glyphs. It's not very practical to put all those extra details on a printed page.
