Ventura + Noto (and other annoying) fonts.

So here we go again - a new upgrade and yet another wrench in the works by Apple. (What seems like) 1000 Noto fonts (and others) clogging up app font menus. No longer can we remove or even disable these fonts - anyone know how do get around this? As a designer - literally scrolling through a font menu being stacked by too many (and too many typefaces) of fonts such as Noto is time consuming. Anyone know how to disable these fonts - nothing seems to work? I almost regret upgrading these days to any new Mac OS for reasons just like this.

That's not true. All loaded fonts show up in the apps, specifically Adobe create apps. THAT is exactly the problem and I"m not the first, nor the last to complain about this. 100+ noto fonts (and others totally unnecessary) showing up is the problem. This has been an ongoing problem for years.

That's not true.

What's not true?

I know Adobe shows everything it can find because it is not using the Font Manager API correctly.

Adobe should be using the Font Manager API to only show you what you want to see. Adobe doesn't seem to care enough to spend five minutes updating their apps to correctly use the tools provided by Apple.

The apps you use are not supposed to show them to you. Ask the developers of those apps to follow Apple’s Font Manager API.
