Font menu starts where you stop when opening list
The font list always starts at the top when you expand the menu. If you type "M" to jump forward in the list you can only view those "M" fonts before you scroll back to "A" (top of list). If you type "My" you can only see fonts with "My" and nothing else.
The old versions would always expand the menu so that you would be at the font you have currently selected. I would love this feature back.
I explore fonts a lot, the current situation with the menu is really debilitating.

This feature was proposed in 2018 now we are almost at the end of 2023, is there anyway to know the progress, if you wait for more users to ask for, this will never happen in this case, it’s a common sense for a designer to get back where he was he was in that font. Affinity Designer has it. I have ideas to simplify the fonts selection method that has not been helpful at all.
I may attach a file with my idea soon, -

Affinity Designer already has it. I can select any line of text in my document and be able to see it among all the other fonts.
I’m a designer and a heavy Illustrator user, if I am trying different fonts for a logo I should be able to go back to where I left of and continue down the list of fonts in order. Sometimes I have to stop and try the different family if that one font, but when I get back I have to search for it, the annoying part is it is on the top of the list among other fonts I just used, this defeats the purpose of favorite font.
Please put this on top of your list. 🙏 Thanks. -
Michael, if you go to Preferences > Type and set '0' for Number of Recent Fonts — does it 'fix' the issue for you?
The team had this functionality broken when they added Recent block and we need more voices to get it fixed back.
