Pasting text should update Recent Fonts- what are the parameters?

@VectorStyler said in update 1.2.028:
Pasting text should update Recent Fonts also.
I appreciate you adding this feature because if I copy and paste a live font from one open VS file to another, it should count as a "recent font" in my opinion.
Can you explain the rules as to how a font gets added to the "recent fonts"? I did a test where I opened a new file and wrote text and then changed it to a different font (a font not already listed in the recent fonts). I checked the recent fonts list and it was not on there. I then copied and pasted this new font live text to a new document and checked the "recent fonts" there and it was not listing there either.
When I closed out the projects and restarted VS, then some of the fonts I had been testing were listed in a new document "recent fonts" list, but not all. For example, in the test session, I had experimented with the fonts "Deadfrog" as well as "Farah Regular", "Bradley Hand Bold" and "Decotype", but "Deadfrog is not showing up on the "recent fonts" list. Other fonts from older jobs are still on there, such as "Impact" and "Superclarendon Black".
So I get the sense the "recent fonts" is not individual file-based, as in, only the fonts used in that specific file are in that specific list of recent fonts, but rather a recent fonts collection from the most recent multiple projects created or opened.
I then tried adding a new font entirely "Phosphate" and as soon as I added that live text to the document, it was listed in the "recent fonts", along with "Deadfrog".
I guess I'm more. just trying to understand the way "Recent Fonts" operates, so I can best utilize it. Many times I go there expecting to see a recent font and it's not there, or others are listed but the one I used in the middle of the session is not, etc.

@Boldline It should be added when pasting the text. But only a single font is added, in case of multi-font formatted text.
Send me a file that contains font that is not added when pasted.
