Even Better, It would be great to have the font selection and ability to change from the effects pallet and not even open the title tool. Just open effects palette, go to the drop down and cycle through so client monitor sees the selections.

Maybe just leave OSX FontBook open if you are on a Mac.

Well, Steve, if you want WYSIWYG menus, look at the New Blue Tilter plug-in. Unfortunately, even though you get a preview, many fonts just do not work at all. Further, many of the Mac shortcuts we've learned to enter alternative characters (copyright, bullet, quotation marks etc) do not work either. One step forward, one step back.

Granted, Title Tool has been feature locked since about 1980, but could we PLEASE have a WYSIWYG font menu? It's in all of the Adobe products and it is just SO SO SO useful. The list of fonts in the Title Tool is basically useless.

Even the mighty and powerful Marquee tool is similarly hampered (and feature locked since about 1999.). For both of these, can we SEE the fonts as they look? Or you know what would be cooler, to allow you to cycle through font choices with the arrow button while altering your currently typed and selected text. (also a feature I think Adobe can do.)
