Feature Request: Consistently Intelligent Font Lists across all CS Program
current problems/inconsistencies in font lists + suggested solutions:
number of fonts simultaneously displayed:
premiere pro (pp): 16 (too few!)
ae: 19 (too few!)
photoshop: 40 (adequate)
illustrator: auto-maximizing (displays many fonts screen supports, 50 on 1920x1080 monitor)
*solution: make font lists auto-maximizing illustrator!
font previews:
pp: yes (6 user-defined characters previewed next font names)
ae: no previews
photoshop: yes ('sample' displayed in each font, small comfortable viewing)
illustrator: yes (each font name displayed in actual font, makes inconvenient know name of 'dingbat' fonts.)
*solution: make font lists display font names in left column, 'sample' displayed in actual fonts right. when users select text, replace 'sample' first 1-30 selected characters instant previewing in available fonts (e.g. selecting '&' character display '&' in available fonts instant comparison). make font lists resizable horizontal zoom bar @ top of list ensure comfortable viewing everyone.
scroll bar:
pp & ae: yes
photoshop: yes (perfect size , color scheme best visibility)
illustrator: no (current scrolling method frustratingly slow!)
*solution: add photoshop style scroll bar each font list best visibility/usability.
font selecting arrow keys:
pp & ae: yes, arrow-keying up/down in both font fields , font lists
photoshop & illustrator: font fields. highlighting fonts arrow keys in font lists doesn't result in font visualizing.
*solution: allow previewing of fonts arrow-keying up/down in font fields , font lists in cs programs. emphasize 'previewing' instead of 'selecting', since previewing fonts avoids problem of unnecessary undos being created each font visualized arrow keys. (note: arrow-scrolling through font field in photoshop's options bar works suggest, 'previewing' each font without creating unnecessary undos. unfortunately, arrow-scrolling through font field in photoshop's character panel create useless "set character style" history states every visualized font. kind of inconsistency within single program crazy!)
conclusion:
cs programs part of same family, , should therefore behave such consistently intelligent tools. includes font lists consistently intelligent design.
please comment , share! let's these glaring font list inconsistencies fixed!
