Font Preview-Or Not

Font Preview Or Not

The ability to see the typefaces in the font list is a personal choice: Some people like the option to see what all their fonts look like in the Character palette (Window>Type>Character), others don't like the slight slow down in the font list. To turn off this preview in the font list, go to Illustrator's Preferences (Command-K [PC: Control-K]) and choose Type from the pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the dialog. The checkbox to the left of the Font Preview Size pop-up menu turns the preview on and off.
