Restricting what fonts are available to Resolve

Hi All,
Is it possible to restrict the number of fonts I can access when using Resolve?
The UI currently includes all my fonts in the drop down menu, but many of these are foreign languages and only appear as empty boxes.
I am using a Mac, and cannot remove these fonts from the system - most notable "Noto" fonts of which there are about 60. As such, is it possible to set up a font collection (can do this in Font Book) and then set Resolve to only look in this collection for fonts?
Thanks

New feature in DaVinci Resolve Studio 20:

Ability to Filter Which Fonts are Visible in Text+
You can now explicitly limit the font options shown for your text elements. This lets you set a white list of fonts that you are cleared to use and hide all other fonts.

The Font Filter seems to only work on Title+ titles, and not on Text Titles or Subtitles.
Hopefully it will be applied to all instances where font lists are shown.

I love this new feature!
Unfortunately I am seeing the same thing -- it's is not working for regular "Text" titles. (stills shows ungainly huge list)

It's not supposed to. It's only for Text+.
