There are tons of foreign language fonts installed by macOS. Starting with Catalina, there is no way the manually remove them anymore. However, Apple made it so they don't show up in the font menus of typical Mac apps. One exception is Affinity apps. For example, see how many of this one font is clogging up my font menu:

That font isn't even listed in FontBook. It's only one example. There are a lot. Please make the Affinity apps behave like other apps with these fonts, or at least provide an option. Thanks!

I found this 2017 thread here and it ends with "We have now resolved the problem and will make the fix available in the next iPad & Mac release." Maybe this is a regression? The problem exists in the 1.8 beta too.

Possibly @Patrick Connor, who made that comment, would be able to find out.
