Has anyone found a workaround for deselecting Noto Sans in Adobe products use in OS Ventura 13.5.2?

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. Is there a way to deselect Noto Sans anywhere in the Apple system?


Because many Apple users are actually using Adobe products (InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator), I thought I would ask the questions:

1). Is there a path to deselecting Noto Sans in the Apple system, please provide it, as an example: Apple > System Settings > etc.) Former workarounds suggested for older OS with Adobe products don't seem to work.

2). Any Ventura OS 13.5.2 workarounds for Adobe products? If you've found one, please provide the path.

 

Issue:

I cannot deactivate or minimize Noto Sans in Photoshop 2024. Photoshop does not provide an option for sorting the font in Noto Sans families. Instead, the two character menus show every Noto Sans font or not at all.


By comparison, 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. A screenshot from an older desktop version of Excel (V 15.40) automatically divides all fonts into families, including Noto Sans. I can't speak to the cloud versions of Microsoft products.

 

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

• Noto Sans does not appear at all 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.

Without the Noto Sans font visible in the top character menu, it's not possible to select all of the other fonts as favorites. It is not possible to deselect it in the second character menu (Image #02):

 




Adobe Acrobat Pro:

The third 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:


Excel (example):

The fourth 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 needed in Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat Pro and InDesign, unless someone can suggest a workaround? An older post suggested a workaround for OS Catalina that I can't get to work in Photoshop 2024. 

 


 

Yes, this question has been posted this to the Adobe community as well. Respectful, thoughtful comments appreciated.
