How do I scroll through fonts in Creative Cloud Add Fonts? (not AI or photoshop)

[J2kLarsonite]

There is no scroll bar for fonts in the Add Fonts of Creative Cloud. How do you scroll through fonts to add them?

reset your cc desktop app.

Had same issue here, reseting the CC desktop app brings back the scroll bar, but cant grab the scroll bar to navigate up and down. It grabs the list of fonts rather than the scroll bar so if I move cursor down thinking Ive got the scroll bar the list goes down rather than up as I was expecting. Also having opened up my web browser to write this when I go back to the CC desktop app scroll bar is gone again while CC was minimized or not the front most wndow on my desktop.

then use your arrow keys if a reset fails to work for you.

yeah thanks had worked that out, great fun when youve got 30 or more fonts to scroll through.

[kglad]

you're welcome.

Or Adobe can stop acting like everyone has a scroll wheel on their mouse!

The fonts scroll bar issue is by far my biggest complaint regarding the Creative Cloud Desktop App. I've mentioned it in other posts and (IIRC) I've made feature requests for a better scroll bar. The nearly non-existent one currently in the CC Desktop app is just not functional. It might appear for a brief instant, but it just stays invisible and not-useable 99% of the time. If I'm using a computer with a mouse connected to it I have to use the scroll wheel to cycle through the fonts list. If I'm using my home setup with a Wacom tablet connected I can only use the arrow keys on my keyboard to cycle through the list.

Another common complaint is the list of fonts is always expanded, so every style in each type family is displayed in the fonts list. There should be a setting where users can chose to collapse or expand the list of fonts in a type family. This kind of setting would make the task of scrolling through the fonts list easier and faster.

Yes, lack of a collapse/expand feature is exasperating, @Bobby Henderson, plus there is no way to search for a font in the list that I can find. Sorting alphabetically doesn't always sort properly either! Weren't we able to manage fonts on fonts.adobe.com before? That site now prompts me to open the app to manage fonts.

[Bobby Henderson]

Previously all management of Adobe Fonts was done at the Adobe Fonts web site. It was easier to do back then (there wasn't the extra step of "installing" fonts for all apps either). The CC Desktop App just makes the process more frustrating and time consuming.

[J E L]

Yes, I agree! Fonts were much easier to manage on the website, and I got in the habit of looking at my fonts there to group them and so on. Sad to find out this is no longer available!

@Bobby Henderson How do you find launching apps from inside CC desktop with the wacom tablet, I find it very hit and miss. Im sort of tapping away at the icon trying to launch photoshop not sure if its starting or not. Mine seems very undefined where I need to tap/click on the program icon to launch anything and sluggish when it finally does start.

[Bobby Henderson]

I don't have any problem lauching apps (double-clicking with a Wacom pen). My biggest complaint by far with the Wacom tablet revolves around Windows Ink. It has to be one of the very worst things Microsoft has ever developed. I have to keep that horribly bad "software" disabled in the Wacom tablet driver. That comes at the penalty of removing the pressure sensitive functions of the graphics tablet. If I dare to enable Windows Ink in the tablet driver a number of different things will happen that make me so angry I worry I'll pop a blood vessel in my brain. Microsoft's "developers" should be glad they live in Washington and I live way down here in Oklahoma, too far away to visit any of them in person. It's impossible for me to overstate just how stupidly bad Windows Ink is.

Wacom really needs to come up with a tablet driver that has zero at all involvment with Windows Ink. Otherwise I'll recommend to anyone wanting to attach a Wacom tablet to a personal computer to do so using a Mac OSX system. Windows Ink hasn't infected that platform. If I need presssure sensitive pen functions in a device I have to settle for using my old iPad Pro and Apple Pencil setup. That's something that at least works without making me want to tear out clumps of my hair.

Non of these options make any sense.  What makes sense is a scroll bar on the side so I CAN SCROLL DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
