Preview of fonts

While in the paint editor, I find it extremely difficult trying to find a suitable font. This is because there's no preview of what the font looks like, so I have to guess whether there'll be suitable for the project by the font name.

I suggest that the name of the font should be written in that font.

Re: Preview of fonts

Definite support!  big_smile  Sometimes I'll have an idea of what type of font I want, but to find it means I have to open up GIMP or something... unless I want to spend ages crawling through different buttons.

Re: Preview of fonts

WYSIWYG font list would be nice, but right now I'd just like to have a scrollable list and not a "more..." button.

If you are having trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: 1 comes before 2 comes before 5,280 comes before 523,860,759 comes after the square root of -153 comes before π. This will make your previous counting problems seem like no big deal.

Re: Preview of fonts

Definitely a good idea.  smile  A scrollable list would be really great, too - and possibly recently used fonts (the font I use is most always last on the list, which tends to be a major pain).

Re: Preview of fonts

Total support. Utter support. If there is scroll bar and a most recent fonts place like coolstuff suggested, extra support.

It gets really annoying when you can't find the right font for stuff. >.<
