If you haven’t done so already, activate Emoji and Symbols in your Menu Bar by using either of the following:
Open System Preferences > Keyboard and click the “Input Sources” tab Click “Show input menu on menu bar” or From Finder (or almost any software that takes text input of any sort) go to the Menu Bar and choose Edit > “Emoji & Symbols” (Fn-E) Either method will give you access to the Emoji & Symbols window (called “Character Viewer” in earlier incarnations of MacOS, still reflected in its Window Name). The Sidebar of the window shows you a list of Character categories. Choose Latin, then scroll down the list of characters in the middle section of the window until you get to the section labelled “Accented Latin Characters”. Scroll down further until you see the “Ø” character. Click on it, and in the right side of the window you will see the character displayed in all of the fonts on tor system. Click any particular one and you will be shown the name of the font which contains it. This all sounds much more complicated than it really is in practice, and I could spend an hour talking about this incredibly useful little utility hidden away in MacOS, which is accessible all the time, and works with all software. > On 5 Jun 2022, at 10:53 pm, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: > > Hi Walter. > > If you open Word then click on the Font Style in the upper left of Menu Bar > you will get a dropdown of the fonts. > >> On 5 Jun 2022, at 7:16 pm, FW <whae...@iinet.net.au >> <mailto:whae...@iinet.net.au>> wrote: >> >> Good evening people, >> >> some operating systems ago I used to be able to display the font list in >> their actual styles rather than having to select each font >> to see the style.
