Hi all,

I am sure that this has come up in these forums before, so please forgive me. That said, ever notice how in ILLUSTRATOR, when you go to select a font, you get a sort of mini preview of the font in the actual drop down font box ? Is there any way to make Photoshop do this ?

Thanks
Mike

Not like Illustrator, but you can type the text, highlight it and then use the arrow keys to go through the font choices. The text will change on the canvas to reflect the changing fonts.

No need to drag-though and highlight the text in the document.

As long as you have the text layer selected in the Layers Palette, you can set your cursor focus on the font name in the Character Palette and arrow-key through font choices. The changes to your text in the document will change display on-the-fly.
