Font Preview

Post by craftedge »

If you want to quickly view your text in various fonts installed on your computer, you can use the Font Preview feature.

From the Text menu, choose Font Preview

If you want to narrow down what it shown, you can click on the previews to select them, and then check the Display selection only checkbox.

You can click the Change Font button to change your text to the selected font.

I updated to 2012 and it is there.....really gives you a picture of how many fonts you have that look similar enough to do without! Guess I'll do some housekeeping tomorrow and get rid of about 1/3 of them.

Thanks
