Hide / disable unwanted fonts
There is a long list of fonts that I just don't use. There needs to be some way to hide fonts. Especially with all the fonts that get added, plus any fonts that the os has installed.

It would be great if there was a way we could turn system fonts off so they don't show up in the list.
Why is this valuable? Because currently I have 63 Noto *** fonts listed in my fonts -- there are others in that list too (Apple Braille) that we cannot remove from our system font library. Every time we do a visual search for a font to use, we have to go through these all of these useless fonts too.This would be a great option for all of your programs -- not just Illustrator. Same issue in Photoshop and InDesign.

Yes please! I'd like to be able to use arrow keys to rotate through fonts when choosing. And that works, until I get to some of these weird fonts, then it gets stuck and I have to manually go to the list and choose a later font to keep going. This happens multiple times in the list.

Please god dear god, Adobe, give us the ability turn the visibility of these off in this menu, and let us remove Adobe fonts/typekit menus so I can have complete control over my fonts

YES PLEASE! Ridiculous that I have 56 system fonts that I need to wade through. Just silly.

Provide ability to remove or control what fonts show in the Fonts menu (Type > Fonts). Towards the end of the list are a number of dividers with different fonts I never use or will use. In other apps, such as what I’m using to write this - TextEdit for Mac - I see a small group of fonts I’ve recently used and then all of the other fonts I’d normally want to use.
What I don’t see are fonts like Apple Symbols, Arial Hebrew Scholar, GB18030 Bitmap, Adobe Arabic, Khmer MN, and MANY others.

I agree with you Don W. Another thing could be developed is an option to browse the font folder location.

Yes. Please. It is unbelievable that in 2018, we do not have the option of hiding Hebre, Asian, Arabic, etc. fonts, if you don't speak or use those languages. We're not asking to disable or delete the fonts. Just PLEASE remove them from menus. It's completely counterproductive.

Add ability to filter out fonts (system/application) from CC font menus. For example the user should be able to hide the 12 STIX fonts that appear in the menu.

Please give us the option to remove all the Asian and Arabic fonts from the font menu - Most of us using western alphabets never use them! Why should they clutter our font menu?
