You can also select "Show Preview" from the Extras menu at the bottom of the fonts panel. The resizing function is nice for really big fonts too. There really should be a slide widget (grab handle dot or dash thingie) for this.

A neat little point mentioned in Ken Bereskin's <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0100676/"; target="_blank">weblog</a>, which recently covered the Font Panel, shows how the text in the preview section can be changed by simply clicking on the text and typing. Handy
