Can't set Segoe UI as default font - selects Segoe Ui Emoji

[sofiepett-intility]

I am currently trying to set Segoe UI as default font family. When I type Segoe UI or try to select Segoe UI in the dropdown; it selects Segoe UI Emoji. I can't figure out any other workarounds except from selecting text and font family manually.

Anyone else that has this problem? I can't uninstall Segoe UI Emoji, as it is a system font.

Confirmed, for CC 2019.

How utterly annoying -- I can confirm typing in "Segoe" automatically jumps to "Segoe UI Emoji", and then you cannot use the arrow keys to select a normal font anymore. Clicking the arrow and selecting "Segoe UI" with the mouse does work, though. (Although -- another annoyance! -- the font list starts at the top instead of near by the current selected font.)

This must be a new bug, as it still does work as expected in CC'18.

Yes, very annoying! I thought that using the arrow and selecting in dropdown didn't work; but it does as long as your selected font isnt segoe ui emoji. I got it to work now. Thank you!

This obviously must be a bug with the autocomplete function.
