Would it be possible to add a "search" feature , when browsing local installed fonts?

I have over 3000 fonts on my desktop in creative cloud. I need to enable one of them locally on my desktop so I can use it inside figma. Currently it's a mess to search for a specific installed font, and even if I uninstall a font and reinstall it, the update / sync is way too long when I need an instant font. Could it be possible to add a "search" function inside the CC app so we can find quickly the family we need? Or am i missing this somewhere?

Thank you!

Hi @tonybikini

Thanks for the follow up. Yeah, I agree this would be nice feature to have. Posting in the Creative Cloud desktop forum under the ideas section is the best way to pass on feedback for the idea to our Creative Cloud desktop app developers. This link should take you to that area https://adobe.ly/42xHdm6

Hi @tonybikini

Typically, you can search through all the installed fonts within most Adobe products, but I don't think this option is available in Figma. This would be a nice feature to have in the Creative Cloud desktop though. Please share that suggestion here: https://adobe.ly/42xHdm6

Thanks,

Hi David, i'm not talking about Figma, but inside the Creative Cloud App Font section. Top right corner of the window, there is the "f" logo. When you click on it, you can see all installed fonts on your computer, and also have the option to install them to be usable elsewhere (including figma, and other softwares such as microsoft word). My point is inside this UI, you cannot cmd+f, or search through a input for installed fonts. Got to scroll through the whole lot, which can be cumbersome when you have 3000 font variations installed. A nice and easy search function would be life saver. Thanks
