Larger Font Preview in dropdown list CS6

[dutotone]

Hi

I just can not figure out where the setting for the size of type/font preview dropdown is located in CS6, it used to be located under pref->type->type preview - but appearantly not anymore. I'm probably "blind", they surely did include this option in CS6?

(A thing I find annoying in CS6 is how short the font dropdown list is, only covers 1/3 of the height of my resolution, even though I have hundreds of fonts activated - requires alot of scrolling! I really hope this gets larger if it is possible to have larger previews)

Type > Font Preview Size.

I wouldn't say you're blind...Adobe created a new location for it.

It got me too....I just spent almost two hours trying to find it...including trashing all my prefs and over 30 minutes in support chat.

I didn't get Mr. Pinsky's answer above at first, because I assumed it meant going to "Type" under the preferences menu.

Then it dawned on me that there were new menu items in the CS6 Beta... Doh!!

I need a few Advils...

For all those out there Googling for the answer:

In CS6, "Font Preview Size" is now located under the "Type" menu item, not under "Type" in the CS6 Preferences.

Thanks Howard, hope you're well buddy

This was sooooo helpful!!!  I wasn't sure there was a way to do it so I Googled and found this thread.

I am using a trial version of Creative Cloud at home, and CS6 at school. Had the same question on CS6; thanks for the answer. In CC, the fonts automatically preview and the list is very tall.
