How can I import my favorite fonts list from Adobe Illustrator 2018 to Illustrator 2020?

I was using Adobe Illustrator 2018 till now, I have a large list of Favorite Fonts inside that. Recently I have installed Adobe Illustrator 2020 on that same machine without uninstalling the previous version. Now I would like to import the Favorite Fonts list to the latest version of illustrator. 

Hope there will be some way to do this just like the way we import workspace from one version to another version by copying the workspace file from "C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 22 Settings\en_US\x64\Workspaces", there must be a list file where my favorite font list is saved. Where is that location?

Please don't suggest by syncing through Adobe Cloud, because I don't have internet connection on that PC.

Here is the answer for the latest versions of Adobe Illustrator | Import favorite font list to newer versions

1- Make a copy of the file "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" from the older version of illustrator path C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings\en_GB\x64

2- Paste/ Replace the file in the same location as the latest version of illustrator path.
C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 28 Settings\en_GB\x64

    I know this is old but I have fixed this issue on windows by changing from illustrator 2020 to 2023.

    1- Type in the search box or in Run window (windoes+R): %appdata%

    2- Go to Adobe file and there will be two illustrator files mine was (Old one: Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings) and (New one: Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings).

    3- Make a backup copy of the new setting file just in case.

    4- Delete the new settings file and name the old one as the new one (so for me I deleted the "27" File and renamed the "24" file to "27")

     

    So far so good I didn't notice any issues but just in case anything happens make sure to have a backup.

    *Tip for the future you can always export and import settings before updating or changing your PC, and you won't have the same issue again ^_^

     

    Kind Regards

      No idea, but it may simply not be possible without relying on the sync functions. The underlying stuff is built on this, after all. If at all there may be some obscure XML or other config files in one of the sync folders or the TypeKit config folder that may be possible to edit and copy&paste the relevant sections, but I'm honestly just speculating here.
