Some users report losing their list of font favorites even though they explicitly chose to preserve settings and preferences in the Creative Cloud app. And by “never” I mean at least not till the next time you upgrade. You’ll just have to decide if the one-time torture is worth never having to traverse the Noto Wasteland again. You have to click them one at a time, which is insanely tedious if you have a ton of active fonts. The lousy part is (as far as I know) there’s no way to select multiple fonts at a time to mark them as favorites.

It’s on the far left in Photoshop font menu and the far right in InDesign and Illustrator.

Just click the little star next to every font you do want to see in the menu. The second method is to use the Favorites feature. You just need to remember to un-filter the next time you want a different class of font. In a bizarre but welcome twist, you can even filter for sans serif fonts and the Noto fonts (which are almost all referred to as “sans”) will be hidden. Ditto for scripts, handwritten fonts, etc.Ĭlicking any class filter will hide the Noto fonts. So, if you know you want a serif font, click that filter button. Simply, use the controls in the fonts menu to filter by class. The other is tedious and time-consuming but it will allow you to eliminate Noto fonts with surgical precision.įirst, the easy way. One is very quick and easy, but it will hide other non-Noto fonts. Because hey, you never know when someone from three continents away might pop in for a quart of milk.įortunately, all is not lost. It’s as if every time you went to your neighborhood grocery store you had to park a half a mile from the door because the closest 100 parking spots were reserved for folks from every other country in the world. If you’re the kind of person who likes to browse through your fonts to pick one, this gets tiring very quickly. So, you might have to set aside a chunk of your day to scroll from NewsGothic to NuevaStd. That means if you’re using a Mac, you now have over 100 Noto fonts clogging the font menus of your programs that you can’t turn off, even if you never need or want them. Nor can these fonts be disabled with font management software. At least not without some serious (and for most mortals, seriously perilous) system brain surgery via Terminal. Sounds great, right? But the problem is that Apple thinks these fonts are so great, and so essential, that they now come installed in macOS and cannot be uninstalled.

They’re also free to use anywhere, available under the Open Font license. The intent behind the Noto fonts is a noble one, namely to provide a global writing system composed of high-quality fonts for every written language. Testing should be done with the font temporarily uninstalled from your system, to be sure that your design is in effect.Here’s a quick tip for decluttering your font menus in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign by hiding the Noto fonts. (You may use the fall-backs of serif and sans-serif, but you will get the font mapped to these by the individual web browser version used, within the fonts available in the OS version it's running under, and not what you designed.) System fontsĪssume nothing, font-wise, about what device is visiting your website or what fonts are installed on its OS. Other fonts must be uploaded to the server, style and weight specified by their individual names.

Tested working in Firefox 66.0.3 on Mac and Firefox 36.0.1 in Windows. (Quora warning, please remove if not allowed.) On all of these browsers, for example, setting font-family: Segoe UI Light works OK.

Testing with Segoe UI, which often exists in different font weight versions on Windows systems, I was able to make Internet Explorer 9 select the proper version when using the logical approach (of using the font family name Segoe UI and different font-weight values), but it failed on Firefox 9 and Chrome 16 (only normal and bold work). The workaround is to include the information in the font family name, even though this is not how things are supposed to work. Web browsers have been poor at implementing font weights by the book: they largely cannot find the specific weight version, except bold. In this approach, font-weight is not needed (and probably better not set). (Personally I use my own font listing tool, which runs on Internet Explorer only to see the fonts in my system by names as usable in CSS.)

The practical way is setting font-family to a value that is the specific name of the semibold version, such as font-family: 'Myriad pro Semibold'
