Add 'bold/heavy' and 'italic/oblique' and similar features to the Font filter options.
I'm sitting here designing a character for my current comic, and part of this task involves deciding which font works best for their dialogue. Or which font family; I need to have at least one option for emphasis. Maybe two, bold and italic kind of imply different tones of voice.
I have a lot of fonts that are parts of families and have italic/oblique/bold/heavy/black variants. I also have variable fonts that include weight and angle/*****/etc sliders. And I also have a lot of fonts that have none of these options.
It would be very helpful if I could tell Illustrator to only show me fonts that have some of these variations, whether via multiple fonts in a family, or variable font siders. This would save me a lot of time scrolling through my collection of fonts, seeing one that feels good, only to hit the disclosure triangle next to it and discover its family doesn't include what I need!

There is a larger request, a general
We need custom font filters / tags / folders,
