I am using 2015 on 8.1

Revit has several hundered fonts to choose from but I cannot tell what any of them look like.  Some programs have all the font names in the actual font so you get a little preview, but not Revit.  How do I see what all the fonts look like?

Revit has NO fonts!  Revit uses the fonts you have in your system.

Ahem ... yes ... correct.

Quesion remains.  Is there a way to see what each font looks like in Revit?

Perhaps, this is a windows question - If they are system fonts, how do I see what all my system fonts look like?

From windows, click on start, then type in CHARMAP and pick the font you want to look at.

BTW, you can pick an individual letter and copy/paste that into a Revit text field of the same font.   Useful for special characters if you don't know the ASCII code.
