This is a good idea; glyph review would help with things like making sure true small caps were there, oldstyle numbers (checking if the lowercase 1 is capital i-shaped or numeral 1-shaped), fractions, whether the quotation marks were unusably weird (like Optima), whether I like the em dash. I certainly do that sort of full review on the rare occasion when I'm *purchasing* a font. Getting creative Cloud would be like suddenly leasing thousands of fonts, and telling them apart in terms of feature set would be hard. I guess I could "review" the entire Adobe Fonts collection by testing a sample line of text that had all those things in it, for thousands of different fonts. It would be a much better service to the end user if *both* practices at MyFonts (glyphs, filters on advanced typography) were available. Adobe should be leading here and offering easy ways for advanced typographers to narrow the field based on the feature set.
