Renard Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I don't want to keep on scrolling down the font drop-down every time I need a font, Is there anything that can allow you to search for a font such as Eastwood?

ardneh Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Open the font drop-down, press the first letter of the font's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I don't understand that ^ advice. It surely assumes you just have a few dozen fonts installed rather than hundreds. If the latter is the case you are doomed to scrolling down through the whole collection to select a Z named font like Zrnic, one I've had cause to use quite a lot. The scrolling is very fast though and I don't believe you're wasting that much time doing it. However it could be a useful feature being able to type the font's name into the box to select it, similar to the way you can adjust the font size manually.

toe_head2001 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 A 'Recently used fonts' feature has been suggested in the past.

You may replace it with something that ISN'T animated.

Activate the Text Tool Click the mouse once in the font-selection text box in the tool-bar Press the keyboard key matching the first letter of the font you want The list of font-names jumps to those starting with the key you pressed. BTW you know you can use the mouse wheel to scroll the list of font names? It's really fast 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Ah-ha not understanding ardneh's advice was because it wasn't clear that bit about using the keyboard to select the first letter of the font in question. Thanks to Ego Eram Reputo for making that clearer. I've just tried it and it indeed does work. Its a very useful feature I wish I'd known about a long time ago.
