Question 1: When I first had PSE, about 3 years ago, I printed out several pages of typefaces I liked. But since reinstalling (after a virus ) have found many of these, notably Elephant and Lucida Calligraphy, are missing. Is this because updates have changed things around or what?
Question 2. How can I preview fonts and sizes before committing to them? Sorry, I know I’ve asked this before and I know it’s simple, but don’t do type often and have forgotten.

I can answer the first question, but Jodi is the whiz at how to view the various fonts.

The fonts Elements uses are all installed on the hard drive of your computer. So, if you’re missing a couple, that’s because they’re also gone from the font folder for your computer. Elements doesn’t have any of its own.

Hazel, if you are using a PC with a wheel on your mouse the way to see the fonts> click on text tool and choose text at the top of the list of you fonts…type in what you want and then commit by clicking the checkmark. Then go back to the font options and click on the second font down>now use your wheel and it will quickly scroll through all the fonts and will preview on your text on your screen. This is the way I do it anyways.

"or what" is the answer. Why reinvent the wheel?! I would have done that except I couldn’t remember which thread it was on, and a search of your name turns up too much stuff! 🙂 I was the one being lazy.

Nope. Just checked and there’s nothing from you. But have I told you the GOOD news? We had snow yesterday, and it looks like we might have a little more. Remember how I whined all last winter? Well remind me in February or March that November had a few hours of winter!
