Scroll through fonts (using arrow keys) in CS3?

I've searched a couple dozen blogs and this forum, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll through fonts using the arrow keys in CS3.  The tips I've been able to find are for older versions of PS and don't seem to work with CS3.  Am I missing something?  Am I crazy?
Many thanks!

Okie Dokie.
So, on the left, I have the type tool selected.
In the middle is the drop down font family panel.
On the right, you'll see that I have the text layer selected.
Oh, and you can see in the top that my text is not in editing mode (hence the lack of the green check/red "no" symbol).
Am I doing this correctly?
Oh and if I trash my preferences will I lose keyboard short cuts I've set up?
THanks again!

  • ***Cant Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

    when trying to preview different fonts in AI i am unable to scroll through them using the arrow keys, it just doesnt move... can anyone tell me whats wrong? im sure its pretty simple but i have no idea how to fix it...if it can be fixed... oh im using cs3 and a mac on os x leopard

    you cant scroll through fonts in photoshop too. the scrolling stops on an item of the list (maybe photoshop has problem with it), and 1. in photoshop, you can't jump over it, you have to manually place the selection on the item after the one that blocked the scrolling, 2. illustrator will jump backward and you will keep scrolling about max 5-6 fonts over and over.
    the font groups divided with lines are meaningless. it doesn't have any relation with regional keysets or any good reason.
    a lot of unusable font f....d into the middle of the page.
    i have to scroll over a dozens of unusable system fonts, what I cannot uninstall from Windows.
    no font management at all.
    and yes waiting for another 300$ upgrade too.
    (plus another upgrade for a flash, because flash drawing tools didn't see upgrades in their whole lifetimes.
    these tools are covered with bugs from top to toe. because nobody takes care of them. 300$ / 1bug.)

  • Problems with scrolling through premiere timeline using arrow keys and shift arrow

    This is a really weird problem in cs6.
    When I load a clip into the source monitor i can scroll throughit fine using the arrow keys, and shift arrows and my shuttle pro controller.
    When I place the same clip on to the timeline it really struggles to scroll using the arrows or the shuttle pro, its really kerky and sdlwo to scroll the timeline, which is really frstrating, becuase it can play the footage fine in the source monitor.
    The clips will playback fine, but scrolling through them just doesn't work as it should any ideas?
    Cheers
    Mike

    I changed my shuttle settings to make the shuttling more responsive:
    1 - 5 times second
    2 - 10
    3 - 15
    4 - 30
    5 - 45
    6 - 60
    7 - fast as possible
    At least I changed this a long time ago - don't know if these are the defaults or not.
    It'll only shuttle as fast as your system is responsive of course - so if you get instantaneous scrubbing by dragging the CTI in the timeline with the mouse, you should be able to get good performance with the shuttle. Of course that performance depends on the type of footage and how demanding it is on CPU to decode and whether youi have effects applied etc etc etc.
    I edit pretty much exclusively with Sony XDCAM EX 1080P 25 footage we've shot on EX3 and PMW-350 etc and I get very very fast performance on the timeline - no issues at all i7 6 core 4GHz with 24Gb ram and fairly fast RAID array for footage.

  • How do I browse through pictures (in open state) using arrow keys

    Hi all. I know this is a lame question. But I am new to Mac. How do we navigate through photos in open mode. I mean usually in Windows, we open one picture and use arrow keys to navigate between photos.What are the keys I can use to navigate between photos. As of now, I have to close the photo and then double tap on another to view it. Thanks.

    What application are you using? In iPhoto you can just use the right and left arrow keys to browse photos...

  • NOTHING will allow me to mouse wheel scroll through fonts in CS6

    OMG, I am about to have a coronary trying to find fonts!  I have looked on this forum for an answer that works and cannot find anything thus far.  First, WHY is it necessary for CS6 font list in the Character Pallet to take up 1/2 of my screen?!  Second, do i REALLY have to click the little arrows at the top and bottom of the font list to scroll through fonts, ONE.BY.ONE?  Typing the first letter does not work either, it takes me to say the "D" fonts but when i click the drop down arrow to see my list of "D's", it shows a list from the top, not the D section.  I REALLY hope I am missing something here, because seriously, this is totally unusable.
    ETA:  Going to the TYPE>FONT menu at the top does not scroll either and Photoshop CS6 works beautifully...
    ETA (again):  i CAN scroll through the menu on the top (under the FILE-EDIT-etc menus), but there is no font preview (and it is selected as med in preferences)

    Thank you for the reply.  System is a fairly new Windows 7, 64 bit, plenty of RAM, hard drive space, i5 dual core processor.  To have this issue in Illustrator only and not in Photoshop seems less likely a software conflict (just guessing)?  I attached screen shots.
    Character Pallet drop down (mouse wheel, keyboard arrows, typing a letter key...all do nothing)  Only way to navigate is by hitting the little arrows on the top/bottom of the drop down.  And no scroll bar?
    Top Menu Drop Down - scrolls, hit a letter key and works, arrow keys work.  Could use this permanently, but there is no font preview..
    All of what you said works on your system, is how I would expect it to be programmed.  Partially making sure this is not the way it was designed, and hoping to find a fix for why its not working correctly.
    Main programs installed:
    Firefox
    MS Office 2007
    quickbooks
    CS3 Design suite (I JUST upgraded to CS6 and have kept it there for a backup...probably can uninstall now if that could be an issue)
    Thank you for any advice and if you would like to upload the video, that would be great.

  • After zooming in on an object using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time

    After zooming in on an object, using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time.
    Versions:
    Illustrator CS6, latest update
    Mac OS X 10.9.4
    FontAgent Pro 6.2
    Troubleshooting I've tried
    -trashed all related Illus. preferences
    -updated the only plug-in being used (FontAgent Pro), to the latest
    -disabled all but absolutely necessary fonts
    -repaired both system and user permissions
    -quit all other apps, so that only Illus. running.
    -fonts verified
    Was never a problem until a couple weeks ago, so the obvious question is "what changed?".  The two things we changed in the time period that the crashing started, is we replaced a balky external drive with a new one, and started our TimeMachine backups over again. And #2, we updated to the latest CS6 versions (due to other quirky issues).
    One odd thing to point out...perhaps is "normal", but in the crash reports, it's reporting that Illustrator is 16.0.0, but "About Illustrator" shows that it's 16.2.2.
    Everything else running fine on this iMac -- no reason to suspect it's the operating system.
    Has anyone run into this bug? If so, what have you done to fix this?
    I've not seen anything like this mentioned in Adobe's update change logs or their troubleshooting info.

    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select "Navigation Toolbar"
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
    -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extension (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Acrobat X Pro 10.1.12 under Yosemite crashes when trying to use arrow keys to navigate.

    Acrobat X Pro 10.1.12 Mac
    Yosemite OS X 10.10.1
    Acrobat now crashes when attempting to use arrow keys to navigate. This is true on both MacBook Pro 15 retina and Mac Pro.

    I ended up upgrading to Acrobat XI. This works, but Adobe is up to its old tricks changing the interface from what we're used to using. They now have decided to hide all the tools. You have to delve deep into the program to find the tools, then set up your own tool menus. Lord help you finding a tool that you use too occasionally to put on a custom menu.
    Adobe has been doing this for years now. In Photoshop of olden days, it was simple to set up a brush, say, that you used frequently. Quite a few updates ago they made that vastly more difficult. And they've replaced words with happy little icons, that are not at all intuitive to use. I challenge you, too, to look at the icon for the airbrush and tell me whether it is on or off. (Sorry, this is mainly about Photoshop, but what they've done to the latest Acrobat is just as bad.)
    Of course, their ultimate cuteness in making things difficult for the user is their essential abandonment of a Help system. You can't do a simple look-up of a function -- you have to go to an internet site and sort through a bunch of forums and user comments to get any information.
    JEEZ Adobe!

  • Illustrator CS5 crashes when scrolling through font menu.

    Hello Adobe Community,
    I am in desperate need of help with my Illustrator CS5 program. It has suddenly started to crash when I scroll through the Font menu from the Type menu at the top of the program. I am using a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13" with retina display on OSX 10.9.2. I am using Illustrator CS5 v15.0.0. I have read through scores of forum threads and tried every solution that was suggested and still cannot resolve this problem. I am stumped and my back is up against the wall. My work flow has now slowed to crawl since I have to now search through fonts using FontBook then manually type in the font I need in the font character field. I believe this problem is due to a corrupt font. The trouble started after I installed a new font. I have since deactivated and deleted that font but the problem persists. I am not a "tech head" so I don't know how to generate those long code pages that some can. I can make pretty pictures with Adobe products but I can't service those Adobe products.
    Here is a list of things I have tried so far (at least what I remember):
    *     I have deactivated and deleted the font I believed to be corrupt.
    *     I have validated all my fonts with FontBook and deleted all corrupt files.
    *     I have turned off the "enable missing glyph protecting" in the preferences.
    *     I have used FontNuke to delete my font caches.
    *     I have reset my Pram.
    *     I have repaired all my permission with disk utility.
    *     I have removed all fonts except for the standard system fonts.
    *     I have uninstalled Illustrator and done a clean install (my system was migrated from a backup-however is has worked fine for months).
    *     I have deleted my library/preferences/abobefnt.plst.
    *     I have change the font preview to small.
    *     I deleted all my fonts and restored them from time machine from before I had installed that last font I believed to be buggy.
    *     I have prayed to Jebus.
    So far none of this has worked. The closest I got was after deleting all the corrupt fonts with FontBook. It worked for a day. Then the next day started crashing again. I am completely lost at this point. I don't know what else to do.
    Can anybody please help me figure this out?
    BK
    Update - I figured out how those crash reports are done so if anyone thinks they can help but needs to see a report please let me know and I will paste it into a reply.
    Update 2 - I tried turning off the font preview all together and this seems to have stopped the crashes so far. I think the bug can be isolated to this function. Problem is I need that function.

  • JComboBox problem when traversing using arrow keys and it is editable

    Hello,
    The JComboBox I am using is editable and user needs to traverse the list using arrow keys as long as user is not selecting a particular item. But this is not achievable when combobox is editable. Any suggestion to get rid of that.

  • Using arrow keys to scroll presets and library

    Hi
    I'm wondering if it's possible to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down folders and presets?   I'm starting to get RSI from the mouse. Is there a way?
    I can't work out how.
    Gus

    thanks.. that's really depressing news..  I'm so used to being able to scroll up and down the folders in explorer and Bridge that it makes no sense at all to have to click each folder with the mouse every time.  Awful.. Trying going through a long list of presets one by one..
    Even in LR you can scroll the images along the bottom with the cursors. Why not the folders or presets?
    why did the designers make such a departure knowing that most of their users would be coming from PS/explorer/bridge experience?
    It's the same with keystrokes.. what happened to standards of usability and consistency?
    is there a good reason for this?  I can't see one. Really fed up as I need the cataloguing features LR has but don't see myself enjoying using it at all.

  • Cannot move inside the Fonts window using arrow keys?

    I'm pretty sure there was a way to move around in the Fonts menu using the arrow keys.  The selected Collection, Family or Typeface would turn from grey (not able to navigate) to the blue (able to navigate). 
    Does this ring a bell to anyone else?

    So I did search before posting this question but couldn't find anything.  Of course right after I post I found the answer.
    But this doesn't always work in all programs.
    You have to shift the focus to the font window by clicking on it, not just by clicking on a Collection, Family or Typeface line item.  Then the selected column will be highlighted blue, the Maximize, Minimize and Close buttons will be in color and the selected item will also be highlighted in blue.
    But this doesn't always work in all programs.
    Any ideas?

  • 9.0 closes doc when I use arrow keys to scroll

    I appreciate any and all help with this.  When I use the arrow keys to scroll down (usually on the second time I hit the down arrow it closes) the document it closes abruptly, I got the pdf from IBM
    Thanks,
    Erik.

    yes right 9.1 gives more usability than the 9.0. you can page up and down option too to scroll. Its a benefit to use more advanced technology. enjoy it.

  • Scrolling through font list in character palette

    Hi. In AI CS4. XP
    I thought after having the newest version of Illustrator I would be able to have a text box selected & scroll through the font list to see the different fonts change on the text using the arrow up/down keys.
    I seem to only be able to scroll through 2-3 fonts & then it stops, which is very frustrating because I am so used to doing it in ID & PS.
    Anyone know what I can do? Picking each font one by one is time consuming. How American that sounds. Great.
    Thanks.
