Fonts in Editor

[Shari]

Hi,
I'm typing captions right on my photos before I print them. When I go to chose the font is there any way of getting a sample of what they look like in PS3. Or, anywhere I could go to print out a list of samples of the different fonts that I could print and have on hand. Thanks.

There is a program that has been recommended here and I think there is a link in the helpful links section of this forum. It is called Free and Easy Font Viewer. It doesn't integrate with PSE 2 but runs quickly from you desktop when you need it.:)

One thing you can do with the text tool active, (it's kind of finiky) is to highlight the text (drag over it) then go to the font list in the option bar, and highlight the font name, then using the arrow keys, you can scroll through your font list and it does change the text on the photo/creation.

I say it is finiky because I have trouble clicking the font name, if you don't get it right, then your highlighted text get unhighlighted. That could just be my ineptitude:)
