Previewing fonts?

[DirtyWackFunk]

Can you actually preview a font before selecting it? It seems rather
tedious once you have a word, to have to change the font over and over to
see what it looks like in different fonts.

Once you have highlighted the word in the image, you can then click on the
font name in the character window and scroll down the list with the arrow
keys on the keyboard. You can also click Ctrl+H to hide the highlight so
that you are looking at the changing fonts.

how can we preview fonts in the character panel before typing, before anything ?
