Hi :) Normally i just scroll through the list of fonts. It is a bit annoying that there is no scroll-bar i guess but i hadn't really thought about it. Mouse wheels scroll through quite easily and there is (or 'should' be) fairly thin lines at the bottom of the list with the triangle / arrow type thing that you often see on drop-downs or sometimes pressing the first letter of the font name seems to work in most programs.
If the fonts list is broken on your machines then it would be good to post a bug-report. I guess you have already tried renaming the User Profile just to make sure it's not some weird setting or Extension misbehaving?

I get some B's to show. My guess is that only first `50 or so is shown. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
