This little ditty is an ammendment to a post I recently made: Coverflow Makes for Great Font Browsing.
You can use ‘Quick Look’ to take an even better look at the fonts in your fonts folder. In cover flow mode in Finder, select the font you wish to preview. Notice the preview in the cover flow window. Cool.
Now, all you have to do is hit the spacebar. ‘Quick Look’ will jump in and give you a preview of the full file!
Not enough? Now try hitting the two arrows near the bottom of the quick look window. This will give you a fullscreen preview of the file. When you’re done previewing simply click the X to close, or the 2 arrows to go back to the main quick look mode.
This doesn’t apply to font files alone. Try this out on any file in any location on your mac! It’s a very handy little shortcut that lets you take a closer look at your files without having to open up any applications!
Thanks to our good friend Dan on this one.
