font viewing

I am fairly new to framemaker 15, was using version 7 for years. How do you change the way the fonts are displayed? On 7.1 I could view all of the fonts on 1 page. If I go to format - font it only shows in in 1 row in alphabetical order so if I need a font starting with T I need to scroll down or type the letter. Is there a way to view it all on 1 page?

    It isn't possible.  What Klaus did was take multiple screenshots and combine them into a single picture to show an example of what FrameMaker does not do.

    It depends on your amount of fonts, whether the whole list fits on a page. In my case Format > Fonts provides 64 font names down to the scroll-arrow. The display of fonts in FM can not break the long list into adjacent columns, No UI list can be displayed this way.The following (and more columns to the right) is not possible:

    I don't think you can from within FrameMaker. Not that I know of, al least. I guess I would also recommend using a dedicated font viewer if the selection of fonts is part of a creative process.
