Character Palette Annoyance in AE 7
Is there a work around for the annoying setup of the Character Palette in AE7? I really dislike the un-ability to quickly scroll through the font families. Am I going to have to type in every font name from now on? Does anyone else find this to be problematic?

i’ve had the same annoying problem…
but no solutions so far… -
Yeah, its aggravating. I need to have another app open in the background to assist in font selection, due to the poor implementation in AE.
ALthough, tis is a broader problem with _all_ Adobe apps; font selection has always been goofy. Many have said this is by design for some reason, but I don’t buy it.

Thanks for the link, I was looking for a font viewing utility…

I checked out that font assitance program, but it looks old, does anybody know if it works with Windows 2002 XP pro?

Is this just a Windows thing? Because on my Mac I can scroll through them using the Up and Down arrows after I highlight the font name.

I use it on my new BOXX XP x64 system

Not to mention the fact that it’s a pop-up menu. I’m curious about this, too. Must be a Windows thang.

And OSX of course comes with a decent font manager than allows you to check out fonts fairly easily.

It was a real “WTF?!?” moment the first time I tried to change fonts in AE7. I thought for sure that font support would have ben enhanced in this version. This is an Adobe product after all. But instead, it seems worse! WTF!?!
