Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Recently Used Fonts Display
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel In Word 2004, when using the pulldown font menu in the taskbar, there was always at the top of the list of fonts a group of the ones I had most recently used. That seems to be gone in 2008. Although the Font Collections Menu is nice, I like the recently used fonts at top. Is there any preference to restore this? Not sure what to tell you... I've installed the update on a PPC running Tiger (10.4.11) as well as a MBP running Leopard (10.5.0) & the recently used fonts appear as expected near the top of the font list in both the Formatting Toolbar font list as well as the one on the Formatting Palette of both systems. Try restarting your Mac to see if clearing the font cache makes a difference.

Same issue here (PPC, Tiger). Recent fonts are there _as long as the application is open_. Quit it and they vanish. On May 14, 5:42 pm, etcs...@gmail.com wrote: > > Not sure what to tell you...

Recent fonts are there _as long as the application is open_. Quit it and they vanish. Followup: After applying the 12.1.0 update, recent fonts display in either palette still does not survive an application restart. Has anyone else noticed this? Now that you mention it I can confirm your findings, but hadn't noticed for at least two reasons: 1- I rarely use the Font list to change fonts. I rely almost exclusively on Styles for that purpose, & 2- On those occasions when I do use the Font List it's because I'm after a font that I *haven't* used recently & probably don't use very often... if I did it would be evoked by one of my Styles.

Do you want to do the honors, or shall I? ;-) Patricio Mason Santiago, Chile On 23/5/08 2:53 AM, in article 2875c441-a88c-4c25-bae4-1715570cf091@t54g2000hsg.googlegroups.com, > On May 22, 12:28 pm, "CyberTaz" <typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Patricio Mason > Santiago, Chile *So*, so true, Patricia!! But only 90% haven't? ;-) The excuses offered by people who want to type up something longer than a Letter to Mum/Mom and won't go near styles to do it are limitless. But you know that...

Ahem, that'll be Patricio, as in I have a wife and a beard and I sing bass. :-) Patrick is English for Patricio.

Ironically, when fully conscious I well recall your name; it's good that you use it. I plead that at this side of the pond I have only just woken up. It often shows... And in future I will remember your beard too! Cheers, Clive ===== |
