Font preview sizing in CS6
Just got the Beta. What happened to the font preview sizing option? Used to be in Edit>Preferences>Type. Thanks!
It's under the Type menu. Type > Font Preview Size.

Font preview -- Photoshop CC -- Windows 7
EDIT: I did select "Large" from the TYPE menu (thought it was in Preferences), but this or "None" or the options did not change things.
Windows 7
On my Laptop, I can scroll through my font menu and see the text change.
Not so on my Desktop. There, I can click in the font name box and use the up and down arrows to do this.
Trying to find why the difference, I found this online:
FROM: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/fonts.html#previewing_fonts
Photoshop Help / Fonts
Updated for Photoshop CC Version 2014
Previewing fonts
You can view samples of a font in the font family and font style menus in the Character panel and other areas in the application from where you can choose fonts.
To turn off the preview feature or change the point size of font names, do one of the following:
(CC, CS6) Choose Type > Font Preview Size, and choose an option.
The problem: on my Desktop version of Photoshop CC, there is no Preference option as stated above.
I prefer seeing the menu scroll and to point and click, rather than having to use the up and down arrows to move through the font list sequentially.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.
Message was edited by: Robert McclintockAh! Good question.
I had assumed I had the same version on each computer because I always keep both up-to-date.
Also, with the new CC, I no longer knew where to find the version number. Now I know :-)
Here's what I have:
DESKTOP:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 14.2.1 (14.2.1 20140207.r.570 2014/02/07:23:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
LAPTOP:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.1.0 20140730.r.148 2014/07/30:23:59:59 x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
I am going to guess that is what makes the difference.
Even if so, I prefer being able to see the font menu list, rather than using the up/down arrows.
Looking forward to your feedback/response.
Thanks!

How do I change the font preview size in the drop down font preview list in Adobe inDesign cs6?
It's in the Type section of the prefs...

Hi,
Just upgraded to CC on Windows 7 and noticed the font preview is now much smaller than in CS6. I have it set to size large in preferences, but I'm having a terrible time seeing them. Is there anyway to make the preview bigger? I set it to small and medium just to see and I have to wonder what the programmers were thinking when they set previews this small. Why can't they just give us an option to select what point size we want to preview the fonts at?The font preview between the two versions is the same. The difference is that Adobe doesn't have the font preview displayed using the font name anymore but now has the name of the font using regular text on the left and the font preview using the word 'sample' on the right.

Best font management solution for CS6/InDesign?
I recently upgraded to CS6. (OS 10.6.8). I'm finding that InDesign is extremely slow and wondering if it might have to do with font management. I have a LOT of fonts on my machine. I was using Suitcase previously. Do I need to continue with that? I'd appreciate any advice about best practices for organizing fonts and/or suggestions for font management software.
Must say its Font Explorer Pro (FEP) for me! (MacPro OSX 10.6.8 Indesign Creative Suite 4, Indesign 5.5)
When I first started this job they had suitcase and I found that program really limiting. But I also had never used it before and knew very little about it.
FEP has many things that I like about it.
1. Although most people lean away from font auto activation the one that comes with FEP has been working real smooth, a few second delay when opening files while it starts what font is required.
2. Font Preview is amazing, select the fonts you want to compare with a typeface you have and you have transparent view and slide show.
3. Font Groups: Where you can put all fonts for particular jobs into smart sets.
4. Search files and discover which fonts where used inside that file and save that as a font set
5. There is also a server version of the program.
6. Application Sets: Really handy for auto activating fonts used only in certain programs.
7. Good Conflict control.
The list could possibly go on and on, in other words, love FEP and highly recommend it. -
I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X Yosemetie 10.10.2
I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
HELP!Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

Photoshop CC font preview had to be set to none after OSX 10.8.3 update.
Hi,
I own a Macbook Pro with retina display. When I last updated it I experienced problems in Photoshop CC with the color wheel spinning often for no apparent reason. I had never had this happen so I saw in the troubleshoot Photoshop article in Adobe help to set the preview size to none. Why do I have to suddenly disable parts of Photoshop on such a capable machine as this? I am glad the color wheel stopped spinning but I'm not glad that I have to find a way around having no font previews in Photoshop CC.
This is something I think should be fixed.
Sincerely,
Harold Williams@Noel
I did those steps and step 4 and 5. They tested good. I think step 6 did the trick but not immediately. I could not do step 7 for some reason. I did not stop to figure it all out. I just kept going to step 8. This is where I began to see Photoshop become much more responsive. I moved all fonts that start with the letter A from ~/Library/Fonts to my Desktop and now Photoshop is faster than I've seen in a while. No spinning color wheel, yet. Now I have to find out which ones of those A fonts are bad by replacing them one at a time.
Thanks for pointing me back to that article. I guess I just got upset.
Sincerly,
Harold Williams -

PierrePierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

You just install it in the OS.
Photoshop gets the fonts from the OS. -
Is it possible to increase the size of the font preview?
There is no way to really see the subtle differences between
fonts with such a small preview.
I am currently looking into a font manager but increasing the
size of the font preview in Fireworks eliminate that need for me.
Thank you for your help.Select your text. On the menu, click on Text> Editor...
If you check the "Show font" and "Show size & color"
checkboxes, the preview will show you how your text will look as
you change fonts using the drop-down box in the dialog.
As you change the font, the text in your image will change.
(You may need to arrange your image and the dialog box.) When I'm
experimenting, sometimes I like to click in the font drop down box,
select the first font, and then press the down arrow key repeatedly
to see text in all my fonts.
Joey's suggestion is to select the text, right-click on it
,and select Editor... It brings up the same dialog. If you're on a
Mac, you may have to hold down a key (Option?) while you click to
get this context menu, I don't know how that works. But the menu
select
will work. -
This may have been mentioned before, but I wanted to get it out of my head before I forgot it.
Dream: A font preview system within illustrator.
1. Type in your sample text within a dialog and preview typed characters on all the fonts of your system.
2. The ability to save your fonts within illustrator in sets
These two features would save so much time scrolling thru font selections.
Robert Good.I don't recall a setting that would cause that behavior, but does anyone really know all the many, many settings?
What operating system are you running?
What has changed on your computer since it last worked?
Does the text have any layer style effects?
This could be a situation where Photoshop CS3 is falling out of date with functionality of modern video drivers, though more often it is something that's been installed or configured.
Some things to try:
Try resetting the Character tool by making the Character panel visible then using the menu at the upper-right:
Try resetting your Photoshop overall preferences to defaults (Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after starting Photoshop from its icon or menu item) just to be sure it's not a heretofore undiscovered setting or an invalid combination of settings.
Make sure you have the latest video drivers, or in some case a driver that's been rolled back to an older version (might be more applicable in this situation). Experimentation may be in order.

why doesn't the PS CC font preview show font families any more? Now i have to scroll through 4,400 fonts every time!
You mean font previews themselves in the list? You can set the size and disable via Type > Font Preview Size.

No Font Preview in AE in the 2K era?
It's the 2000's and there's no font preview in the Character Panel's drop down of font names in AE?
I would have considered this a default feature for an app in 1995. For it to be missing some 20 years later...
Or have I overlooked something?If something isn't in AE that you would like to see, file a feature request.
The AE development team is small and each feature/bug is prioritized. The number of requests, the usefulness of the feature, and the difficulty of its implementation are all factors. You can control one of those factors!
