Is there a way to deactivate irritating Noto Sans in the Photoshop 2024 character menu?

Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2

Photoshop 2024

 

Noto Sans is an Apple system font that cannot be deselected in the Apple OS and the font does not show up in my Adobe font cloud dashboard. 

 

I cannot deactivate or minimze Noto Sans in Photoshop 2024. Photoshop does not provide an option for sorting the font in Noto Sans families and instead, the menus show every font. This is an Adobe issue. As an example, Microsoft Excel (an old desktop version) automatically categorizes the Noto Sans fonts into about five families, instead of showing every font that which is what Photoshop does.

 

I've provided images of the two Photoshop 2024 character menus:

• Noto Sans does not appear in the character menu shown in Image #01.  

• All of the one hundred-plus Noto Sans fonts appear in the second character menu, Image #02.

 

Excel:

The third image is from Excel V15.40 (an old desktop version) and it shows how Excel separates Noto Sans into font families. This "family sort" feature is what we need in Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat Pro and InDesign, unless someone can suggest a workaround. 

 

The last image shows how Noto Sans appears in the text edit font window of Adobe Acrobat Pro. It has been divided into four columns, but scrolls on-screen as one big long column.

 

How can we minimize Noto Sans into a font family or deselect them?

Hi @spotte10353908 unfortunately the easy answer is - no. Apple has locked out access to "protected" system font.

This has been an issue for years.

The necessary APIs to hide fonts by language/region have been available to developers from Adobe for years.

They choose not to implement this.

 

Other software companies have made these little changes.  Adobe for some reason doesn't want to. At least they can give a reason for not doing this and not alienating their Apple user base. It is not a problem with the mac OS. It is Adobe.

In that case please post a Feature Request (»Idea«) or, if you feel very strongly about it, maybe a Bug Report. 

Then at least someone at Adobe has to read it; no guarantee of an answer, though.
