Undesired fonts still appear

[Grundoon Groundhog]

I've asked this question before, and nothing works. I am using some but not all of the Garamond Premier family: the Medium weights, not the Regular weights. The Regular weight is not activated. Yet it is the first font to appear in the Character menu when the Garamond Premier family is selected, and appears in the drop down menu. This adds up to a huge waste of time. Why does it happen? How do I stop it?

And once again, why is there no scroll bar in the Creative Cloud fonts menu? Maybe if we ask enough times Adobe will add it.

I never use it Noto, but it appears in the inDesign fonts list as open. I thought it was part of the program. My questiions is whether or not other fonts are built upon it and it therefore should not be removed. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I know that the undesired Garamond Regular is activated in the app. It seems to activate itself; I have left it unactivated in the font family but it's still there.

Make a new doc with a text frame, set some Noto and use Find/Replace Font... to check the path. If it is Activated from Adobe Fonts and not in your system, you may have opened a doc containing Noto, and it auto activated—could be something like a single insertion point with Noto applied.

Well, at the risk of sounding sarcastic, lucky you. Are you in Windows rather than MAC? I can't find a scroll bar in the added fonts bar. Using favorites only won't work as I have to add a variety of fonts as I along. I have deactivated the Garamond Premier Regular fonts repeatedly and they are still active, still in the menu, still the GP default.

It is an unusual project, a magazine with many contributors who used many fonts in their Word documents.  Overriding their fonts when flowing in might work, but I've never understood how. I have to preserve their italicized and bolded words.

And yes, I want Garamond Medium to come up as the default font.

Can the "Noto" fonts be deleted from the system without screwing up all the other fonts? I don't understand why they appear on the active fonts list It's another major pain from Adobe, having to scroll past them all whenever you want a font in the latter part of the alphabet.

Did you notice Rob's observation that your screenshot shows only enough fonts to fill the list... meaning that in standard practice on both platforms, no scrollbar would be active?

[Grundoon Groundhog]

No. I don't understand what you mean. I'm not able to take a screenshot of the entire list as it extends past the bottom of my screen. So if I activated even more fonts a scroll bar would appear? If I open a family within the list to check on weights the list is presumably even longer. No scrollbar.

Okay. I got nothin' else on this.

So if I activated even more fonts a scroll bar would appear?

Yes. I’m on OSX and there is a scroll bar, which is made visible via the mouse scroll wheel, or with the Apple mouse the center scrolling area:
