Text entry Font suggestion

[Nationalsolo]

Hi all

 

I have sent this previously as a suggestion to the developers... as well as again just now.. :-))

 

When entering text I feel it would be quite useful to be able to see an example of the font before you start to type. So why not make the drop down list show the fonts actually as they are. It would make it much easier to choose the style required for your titles etc., rather than to have to type something and find one by trial and error.

 

Here is an example of what I mean from a graphics program I regularly use.

 

 

In the drop down list the fonts appear "as is" not simply in Arial.

Does anyone else think this could be useful?

Hi Nat,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll file it on our todo list.

Hi Sam

 

Thanks.

I for one would find it useful. I recently completed a short video about fireworks and displays and a suitable font for the titles (which were animated) took a bit of finding by trial and error as I have a fairly big font list,, settled on Matisse eventually.
