QuarkXPress: Previewing Fonts via the Measurements Palette

Try this cool hidden feature to preview a font display while selecting fonts from the Measurements Palette.

  • Using the Content tool, select some text
  • On the Measurements palette click the Font drop down list and notice that you see a list of font names
  • Close the font list
  • Press [Shift] on your keyboard and click the Font drop down list

    This time, in addition to a list of fonts installed on your PC, you will also see a preview of the font. If you keep the [Shift] key pressed, you can scroll up and down the list without losing the preview.
