When I select a font in TextEdit, it doesn't show what the font looks like; they all appear with the same, generic font. It does this in a few other apps too. In the Mac version of MS Office this doesn't happen. Is there a simple way to fix this as I'm appalling at remembering what a font looks like with just the name of it in front of me!
Got a tip for us?

Office has a WYSIWYG menu for fonts
Many apps do not
You could keep Font Book open (in your applications folder)
