Rishi, There is such a thing as 'unreasonable requirements', you know. :-D
Could you break down the font list, and present it to the user in sections? For example, "Handwriting Fonts", "Electronic Fonts" or something - or even "A-D", "E-F" etc. Then at least you could load the previews in smaller chunks as required. Does it truly have to be live preview (i.e. does it have to match text that the user has entered) or could you convert the text to curves and load each preview as a graphic instead? It'll make the loading of the preview a lot faster if it's a graphic rather than a full font. But there'd be a lot of (possibly manual) work to do up front creating the font previews. Sounds like you've set yourselves a very difficult challenge... (or rather, sounds like your bosses have. :-) ) The other thought that occurs - could you start off with all the fonts in the ComboBox in a 'neutral' font (perhaps greyed out) and update the actual preview with the correct font as it loads?
