I do use the scroll method. It isn’t perfect – especially with lots of fonts installed.
Font management software would resolve that.
And there lies the problem. It’s not possible to
remember the names of every font installed, so I want the preview facility to identify job-specific fonts – not to see what looks best in place. Some of us don’t have that luxury!!
I make sample sheets for all my fonts, and keep them in a spiral binder for easy access. Much easier to see the details of the fonts that way than in a menu somewhere…
No, because the features are useful.
Perhaps, as long as it is an option (as it is in Quark, for example – you have to hold SHIFT as you access the Style > Fonts menu to see the previews). I would never want Photoshop – the wrong place to set text anyway – to show previews by default and always-on.
