MX Font Preview w/ Arrow Keys?

[SlowX]

I just MX-ed my Freehand, but there seems to be a feature missing that I liked:
I used to be able to select a text box w/ some type in it, then select the
font list in the Text toolbar, and scroll through different fonts (seeing a
preview) using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Now in MX I can't.

I can still scroll through the font list that way if I select Font from the
Text menu, but then I can't see the preview.

Did Uncle Macromedia kill this feature, am I just doing it wrong, or...?

Mac 10.3.3, Freehand MX 11.0.2 Build 92, if that matters.

Thanks!

Preferences > Text > Display Font Preview should be checked.

If that doesn't fix it, perhaps you have a conflict with a third-party
extension.

I can see the font previews (and it is checked in Preferences), but I can't scroll through them using the arrow keys when selected in the Text window.

Could Suitcase be causing some goofiness?

I misunderstood your question. I have no arrow key font menu navigation here
either, and I use FontAgent Pro. I always use the mouse to scroll.

Adobe applications have arrow key navigation of font menus.

I don't have arrow-key font menu navigation in FH9 in Classic OS either. I
used Now WYSIWYG Menus in FH9. In what version of FH did you have it? If you
had it and no longer have it, then maybe Uncle Macromedia or Auntie OS X did
kill it.
