Is it possible to change the default sample text on the Adobe Fonts website from "The Quick Brown Fox..."?
It seems the answer is No. If the answer is Yes, please let me know how! It's utterly useless when looking for fonts which don't use Latin characters.
That "fox" pangram is for testing an English-language typewriter. It shows you one capital letter, no digits, no punctuation, no doubled letters, and few common letter combinations.
Worse, though:
I'm looking for Cyrillic fonts — specifically, Cyrillic script fonts. Adobe is not helping me find what I'm looking for here.
The Adobe Fonts search function lets me find fonts with Russian or Ukranian language support, by typing "Russian" or "Ukranian" into the search bar. (But not Cyrillic: A search for "Cyrillic Script" returns fonts which are either not script or don't support Cyrillic letters.)
So I'm able to, kind of, get a list of fonts which probably support Cyrillic to some degree, by searching for Russian (or Ukranian, etc.) script. The previewed text is "The quick brown fox...", which is 100% Latin characters.
Since I apparently can't change the default "Sample Text", now it's time to
- click on the font (and wait for the entire family of quick brown foxes to arrive), and
- paste my Cyrillic text in the "Sample Text" box.
If I don't like what I see, it's time to go back and do the same process for another font, since the sample text doesn't even carry over to the next font I look at.
I'm paying for access to a whole lot of fonts, but calling them organized is a stretch. Definitely not user-friendly.
Does anyone else have this problem?
