Hi all

I'm looking for a way to preview all my installed fonts with custom text in photoshop i.e. if I want to see how a certain word looks on all my system fonts. I'm sure I've seen this function before where it displays a word instead of the defualt "sample". I'm currently using suitcase fusion, but it's really slow cause it loads my entire font collection. Does anyone know of a plugin or setting for CS4 that will allow me to do this?

Thanks Yawl :P

Why don't you want to use a font manager ? http://www.dafont.com/soft.php#1
The mean of this can show samples of the fonts with a custom text.


Don't install all your fonts but just the fonts you need. Many of your softwares will run faster.
To choice a font to be installed, you can use a font manager that can show event the non-installed fonts, like Font Lister. To don't loose time in your choice, it's nessesaary to order your non-installed fonts in a good system of folders, by styles.

Thanks for the reply

My main problem is that my font collection is HUGE +- 60,000. I try to keep my installed fonts to a minimum - that's why I use suitcase fusion. Thinking of scraping this massive collection and getting one that's smaller and better organised - should improve fusion's running speed. Kinda a hassle cause it's only sorted in alphabetically, and there are quite a few duplicates ect. Just really surprised no one has integrated photoshop with a custom preview function - would make my life a lot easier :P.

Try NexusFont
