Fonts preview
When you choose font for text, would be good to have some preview about how it'll look.

It is about time to have fonts preview in XD. It makes us spend so much time looking for the fonts to use.

This should have been implemented already. Please add this feature. This is really helpful. Adobe can do this come on.

Can we please get an update of the font preview? This is super frustrating when designing. Especially as I am new to this, and have no way to see the fonts I have access too.

Font preview, shadow spread field, scroll to update values, css code, mask groups like photoshop or figma... simple stuff that has been avoided for years, don't know why... before prototyping theres actual Design, does adobe wants XD to be just a prototyping tool? and force people to use AI and PSD for the actual design?

I am not requesting anything different than the others who are on this page. My thought is simply, how much work would it actually take to make this possible? It's been an issue for four years, and it wouldn't take the amount of effort and work that a completely new feature would. It already functions in all other things, Adobe.
I am not typically disappointed in Adobe, but for this to have been an issue for so long is truly sad.
Please let us preview our fonts.

2020: riots in the streets and no font preview option? My assignment was to create a wordmark, and I was working in PS, and I was told to move to XD, and I would think a UI tool, of all things, would have a font preview.
Please add basic features into this app, like font preview, so that it is consistent with the Adobe family!

You can use the arrow keys to move up and down, as long as the dialogue box isn't open

Please make it possible to preview fonts!!! It's a program dealing with text and layout. New user and imagined this to be basic. Would make everything so much easier and better. And end products coming out of this soft wear surely nicer ;)

Making design decisions is SO much easier with a font preview. It's a feature I really like in illustrator, photoshop, indesign etc.
Competing prototyping software doesn't use it either, so that would give Adobe a big advantage

Why is this not included in XD, where illustrator and the other apps have the feature?

Well, this truly is an important feature that's missing. You can see the font in Assets Character Styles panel. I imagine it takes a bit of performance toll (Photoshop takes a few seconds to open my 1000+ font list and generate previews...) but it is worth it IMO. Made me learn font names. Now I'm quite knowledgeable in that regard LOL, but I shouldn't work that hard with this small issue.
