Better WYSIWYG font previews
InDesign has had the ability to preview fonts in the font menus for quite a while. You can even change the size of the preview in the Type Preferences. I prefer to see my actual text on the page being “previewed” in the typeface I’m considering. To do so, select the text with the Type tool (T), then press Command-6 (PC: Ctrl-6). This will put focus into the Font fi eld of the Control panel. Now use the Up and Down Arrow keys to move from font to font, and see your selected text change on the page.
