AutoCAD/Display of fonts

Question
To see all the different font styles in ACAD Mech. , do I have to scroll down through them all ?  Or, can they all be seen somewhere making it easier to pick the font I want to use ?

Answer
William,

Only way i know is thru 'Style', you can hit the down arrow key and should give you a font preview. Another option to view installed fonts is to create/edit an mtext, click on 'Symbol' button (looks like '@' icon on the Text Formatting toolbar), then select 'Other'. This will bring up the 'Character Map'.

Hope this helps!
