Pages Fonts

Choosing fonts in Pages 08...when I click on the font tool bar button,the drop down menu shows all fonts by name but they are all shown in helvetica type. Is there a way to have the drop down menu show each font name in its actual style?

Thanks in advance

Lenny.

Click & drag the small dot at the top of the fonts window to expand to show the type faces.

The stated solution works in a pinch, but is a very cumbersome solution. Any new solutions ????


The parts of the input user interface are intended to be application-independent. If you wish, you may ask for a change in user interface for the Font Palette, but the idea is that Pages does not have its own input user interface.

The main parts of the input user interface are the Character Palette for selecting standard character specifications, the Font Palette for selecting styles and simple glyph shapings, and the font-specific Typography Palette for selecting supplementary smart glyph shapings.

(Additional parts of the input user interface are the Keyboard Viewer and the keyboard resource that goes with each keyboard input method.)
