For the last long while I've been having trouble with fonts in indesign and I've heard that others have the same issues.

Only the first time I open the fonts list after restarting indesign, can I scroll through it with my arrow keys. After that, it doesn't work and therefore, it's very difficult to go through my fonts.

Additionally, when I try typing in to the fonts bar to search for a font, it often doesn't pull up the font, as though it's not installed, when I find it if I scroll through the list.

Also, if I try to activate a font through indesign, it endlessly tries, but doesn't actually activate.
