PSPX3 Font previewing

[mmreed]

I see that many folks have complained about how the new text tool functions and lacks the ability to select text and scroll through the fonts and see how that font looks on the text.

I'm still having massive issues trying to figure out what fonts to use, at first I was all for the new method of applying text to the image but now I'm finding it a real pain. I have over 1500 fonts to browse when trying to create text. Without a preview mode where I can scroll through the fonts, the entire process turns into a tedious nightmare.

Is there a plug in or add on... or a undocumented method to get the X2 functionality of being able to scroll through the fonts and see how it looks on the text?

If not, I am uninstalling X3 and either moving to photoshop or going back to X2. Its too much of a pain to keep clicking back and forth font by font - one by one.

Does Corel even listen to the users or understand the needs of designers? I cant believe font preview isnt something naitive in X3. Hopefully im just missing something fixed in a service pack.

The only work around that I can offer is to use another program to preview your font. Corel dropped the ball on this one. If you still have X2 you may use it for now for your text edits. I wish I could offer better advice.

ewww

yeah without font previewing like it was in X2, X3 is pretty much unusable for me. I scroll through fonts to see how it looks with the overall design too often to have to click back and forth like that.

Well - back to X2 for now... may look at photoshop if they dont fix it.

thanks for the reply.
