Hi. I remember back in the day, like 20 years ago, when we all used Word, you could see what the fonts looked like in the dropdown menu so it was easy to experiment with fonts without having much font knowledge. How can I see them, now, in Pages when I click "fonts"?
Thank you!!
Melissa
This is no user configurable setting in either Pages '09 v4.3 (not on Catalina), or with Pages v8.2.1 on Mojave and Catalina. The fonts just appear in their primary style on the font menu. There will be no sub-menus showing other font faces. Even my Postscript Type 1 fonts appear on the Pages v8.2.1 Font menu.
You can also view fonts in Font Book where you can visualize the different faces at a user configurable font size of Lorem Ipsum.

Booted into Catalina when I posted this, and not using Pages '09 v4.3 much elsewhere, so forgot about that Preferences setting. Melissa did not mention operating system or Pages version details, though this would solve her issue if she were using the older Pages on Mojave 10.14.4 — 10.14.6, High Sierra, or earlier.
I understand. You had said "This is no user configurable setting in either Pages '09 v4.3 (not on Catalina), or with Pages v8.2.1 on Mojave and Catalina" & I wanted to clarify that the option did/does exist in Pages 4.3.
Pages 4.3 does have the option to show the font face in Preferences.
And I understand and appreciate the clarification, Peggy.
