Hello folks,
Can you change the default preview text from "AaBbCcDd" to a text string of your choice?
- When using the 'Select Font' box.
I was looking to match a font to a style in a mag article and it would have help if I could type in the text string to match the fonts, as I did not know what the font was called.
I was looking for a font "that was close", but only seeing the "AaBbCcDd" did not help when looking for the letter 'I' to make a match!
I hope this makes sense! - thanks in advance - Steve

Hi Steve,
If you go to Preferences > Preview > CSS preview you can select the file you'd like to use as your CSS preview file.
You could also just make some html with the text you want and add some css to it. preview the html file and you're golden.

I think Steve meant the Font preview box and unfortunately it can not be customized. You can use the Apply button to apply the new font to your document without closing the Preferences window.
