When I go to chose a font in Elements 2 they are just displayed by name, which gives me no idea what they actually look like. Is there a way to change the way they are listed so that each font name is displayed in that particular font? (Hope that makes sense!!)

Thanks in advance,
Sara

Unfortunately PSE (2 or 3) do not do this but you have some options for trying out fonts. You can use a font manager like Font Thing or XFonter to preview fonts. These programs let you type in text (or use a generic sentance) and see it several fonts. You can then narrow down your choices and try out the fonts directly in PSE.

Another possibility is to type in your text in PSE and click OK. Then with the text layer still active change the font and the text will automatically switch to the new font. This is great of quick changes.

As you spend more time digiscrapping I think knowing which fonts you want to try is easier (i.e. you're more familiar with what fonts you have). But I still use my font manager to when I'm picking out fonts for word art.

HTH!
