Cannot see list of fonts

When I try to enter text and select the drop down menu for font selection, my list of font styles does not show up until you put your cursor over a spefic font.  Otherwise the list is blank.  I tried to install the repair feature from the disk but that didnt change it.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Do you mean that the font options do not show up till the cursor is on a specific font

    This is standard.

    If you mean you don't see the text sample in the font style, like this

    You need to "check" the show flyout box under the TEXT->FONTS under options
