I'm in InDesign 2021 and suddenly have dozens and dozens of Noto Sans character fonts that crowd my font menu. I tried to use 'deactivate' in the My Fonts section of my account, but Noto Sans was not listed there. I'd love them to go away or appear in a lower part of the font list, like any of the character fonts reside. Why have they suddenly appeared and can I get rid of them? If so, how?
Thanks.
Hi re@r4 ,
The Noto typefaces are installed by Apple and cannot be deleted. (Send your complaints to Apple!) This user came up with a clever solution: "favorite" all typefaces except Noto to hide them in Adobe software:

Brilliant! Thank you. I will add my voice at Apple as well (not that they care, but why not increase the numbers complaining). Cheers and thank you!

How do I set up a font as a favorite, I dont see a star next to the font name. I go to filter by favorites, and I have none, as I dont see how to specify favorites, in order for noto sans and other unused fonts not to display in my font list...
I have a list of noto sans fonts that goes on for days.

The Noto (No Tofu) fonts are from Apple. This link has a video if the screen shot isn't enough.

"Tofu" refers to the substitute characters (rectangles) that some think look like tofu.

In Apple's Pages app, if you use the command-t command, you see all the typefaces, including the Noto family, installed on your computer. If you use the Inspector text window, you don't see the Noto fam. I saw a workaround in the Adobe apps that also works in the Affinity suite: you can favorite any font and then choose to see only your favorited typefaces. In almost any app, typing the first few letters will immediately take you to the font you want (i.e., type "tim" will drop you to Times New Roman, or Times Roman, or any font that has "tim" in the name.

1. Open App Store on your Mac.
2. Download RightFont (Don't download Typeface: It will cost you $36 dollars!)
3. Find the Noto fonts. (Just type noto on the search bar on the top left)
4. Once the fonts appear on the right panel, uncheck the green checkmarks that are above each font to deactivate them!

This was a great help. Thank you. It did remove most of the Noto fonts or at least made them go away
