  • Hello,

    First off, another huge thank you to John!! sure have been enjoying your
    videos.

    Next, maybe you weren't aware, but that feature is already functioning
    in Draw X5 (and maybe earlier, not sure).
    Just select some text, go to the font list pull down, type a character
    or 2 and when your font is highlighted, hit return on keyboard. If for
    example you want Wingdings 2, typing a w will take you to Wingdings,
    from there just arrow key down one and hit return.

    Next, there is a feature that I always wanted and that is the ability to
    search for a font, to find out all the places where a specific font is
    used either per page or per document, possibly by highlighting the
    result, either showing all instances at once, or highlighting the first
    and using a button to continue advancing to the next occurrence (like
    Illustrator). I was wondering if you knew if that would be possible via
    a macro.

    Thanks!
