How to Display Font Face Previews in Option Menu?

[Ken Ray]

Boy, you're just hitting 'em all, aren't you? :-)

This is another one you can't do natively in Transcript. You'd need a
DLL created for both platforms that would do the job for you and return
the data in an image file format compatible with Rev.

Sorry,
