Previewing fonts
You can view samples of a font in the font family and font style menus in the Character panel and other areas in the
application from where you can choose fonts. The following icons are used to indicate different kinds of fonts:
• OpenType
• Type 1
• TrueType
• Multiple Master
You can turn off the preview feature or change the point size of the font names in Type preferences.
Choose a font family and style
1 Choose a font family from the Font Family menu in the Character panel or options bar. If more than one copy of a
font is installed on your computer, an abbreviation follows the font name: (T1) for Type 1 fonts, (TT) for TrueType
fonts, or (OT) for OpenType fonts.
The Font Family menu in both the Character panel and the options bar shows a preview of available fonts.
