Nowadays most graphic designers and production folks have huge font collections numbering in hundreds or thousands. And while it’s great to have that much choice, it can also slow you down when you have to scroll through ridiculously long font menus in apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The good news is that you don’t have to have to deactivate fonts to declutter your font menus.
Just click the stars to the left of the names of the fonts you want to keep visible in the menu.
This tags them as Favorites. Then click the star at the top of the fonts menu to show only your favorites.
Voila, a (nearly) instant project font menu.
Click the star again to stop filtering by favorites when you want to see all your active fonts.
