Choosing a font style without closing font selection menu

[tom95521]

When I change fonts I like to try different styles. On my Mac the Font Book app says I have 347. When I choose a font it automatically closes the font selection drop down menu. I have to open the menu again and scroll down to a different font. It would save time if the font selection menu stays open until I select a different menu item or click on the text object. Also a total font count could be displayed somewhere in the font options.

Thanks,
Tom

On windows, you can use arrows, page up and down, etc... to see the text with different fonts, before choosing the final font

I must admit I did not know that since most of the time I am using just the mouse unless adding the actual text. It also works on Macs.

If possible I would still like the ability to click on the font without removing the font drop down menu and a count of the total number of fonts in the drop down menu.

Thanks,
Tom
