Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 In my Elements 5 & Canon Photo software, the font style is depicted in the font name. It would simplify selecting alternatives if this could be incorporated in PTE.Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 ERICSEEhttp://bluefive.pair.com/fontpage.htmHi KenDownloaded the file to my programmes folder, opened the zip & installed. But--------- I don't see how this changes the fonts shown in PTE to their actual shape. I could use the Font Page icon to open the programme and using it to identify what particular font I am thinking to use. But this doesn't do what I asked, IE show the actual font style with the font name.Regards Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Eric,If you type some text into O&A then go to Properties you can outline the text font and use your up and down arrows on't' keyboard to step through the different fonts and see how they look on the screen in real time.I find that this is a good enough procedure - would you agree?DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietstorm Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Eric..Another alternative to view your fonts is "right-clicking" and open the font you wish to see!The fonts can be found in your windows system directory.This is just a quick way in seeing the size, font style, etc.ENJOY,Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use elements 5 and am used to being able to view a font without having to resort to looking in other sources.Regards Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
