    this is a golden tip and will make your work a lot easier...I found this by accident....


    here we go

    *on your keyboard type T (text]

    *type a text

    *select the text by double click the layer

    *press click enter ...!!!!but the enterbutton near your numbers

    >the box with the fontname will be selected

    *now press enter and arrow down and magic will happen

    >>you will see the word you typed in all your fonts you have loaded in photoshop...




    ....its like on dafont :)


    ;)

    Yup been using this for a while now. It makes choosing fonts for your art wayyy wayyy easier. Just scroll along.

    Good job

    damn, does't work. I must be doing sumthing wrong.

    I select by double clicking, then press enter and click at the same time. The fontname gets 'highlighted', then i press down and enter (tried both) and nothing happends

    hi lite da text, select the fontname box and use ur roller mouse to scroll thru. same thing basically but faster to do. and um dude u dont need to PRESS THE NUM pad enter key or what not lol. u can select the textbox wid ur mouse. i wonder how u ppl hav been designing without already knowing this. WOW. lolll

    Thanks, I didn't know how to do that. It's still annoying though because you have to have the text selected so the colours invert while you are viewing the fonts. :(

    yeah, thats the way I do it, select the layer with the text in, select the text tool, high-light the font menu on the main tool-bar and scroll :) If you don't have a scroll mouse, your arrow down key does the same thing :D

    But a good tut/tip all the same, the kinda thing that will earn you +rep ;) because there will be alot that *don't* know it :)
