Photoshop: Changing Fonts...
Hello all!
For the longest time my worst part of designing a site has been using the mouse to select different fonts and see how they might look.
Is there a way I can go through all the fonts on my computer easily? Lets say I have "My Text" highlighted, I would like to hit CTRL-F, or the down arrow, or something similar to simply switch the selected font to the next one in the list.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. This could cut down so much time of designing my sites.

Its VERY easy in photoshop...
Type out your text and then highlight it all, then go to the options bar at the top where the font name is written and highlight that. Now simply press the Up and Down corsor keys to cycle through each font
Hope that helps!

Yes, but the only problem is that in Photoshop I don't see the change in my highlighted text until after the selection is made. So if I hit up and down a few times and a different font name is selected, as long as that select box is open, the font won't change. Could this be my version of Photoshop? (7.0)

I'm using photoshop 5 and what davey boy said works, I doubt that in Photoshop 7 it won't work.
Have you got the "preview" option box checked?

There is a way to get around this problem: in stead of opening the select box using your mouse, select it and scroll through it using the arrow keys of your keyboard. The font of the highlighted text will change then (PS7)
