If you are like me and have lots of fonts to choose from, you like that InDesign shows a preview of the fonts when you go to pick one. The problem is, that although it gives you a preview, it's not always that reliable when it comes to your text needs. I will often pick a font thinking that it is just what I need only to be disappointed when I apply it to the text I have in mind. Well, Adobe heard our complaints and has come up with a great new tool - WYSIWYG font preview. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) is probably familiar to you Adobe Acrobat users. What it is basically is a real time view of your file, font, etc. To use it with InDesign fonts:
- Select your text (or at least a portion of it) with the Type (T) tool.
- Press CTRL and 6 (MAC users Command and 6)
- Click on any font in your font list and watch the text you have selected change to the font highlighted.
- Arrow up and down or click on a specific font to view your text with the font.
No more disappointing font choices! Enjoy!
You have done very nicely describe how to change fonts in photoshop and also some information about new tool like WYSIWYG font preview.
