I have posted last August about adding the feature about fonts being viewed as WYSIWYG, now that Fusion is integrated within Resolve 15, it makes it easier to design your fonts without having to use another application to plan which font would be suitable.
It is in my opinion a very important feature, especially if BMD wants to lure in users from FCP and Premiere Pro.
My post had almost 1,400 views, I have shared this with the BMD team and they promised it will be in the next release or later releases.
At this post I’m having to use Affinity Designer (my alternative from Adobe Illustrator), which by the way it’s only a one time $49, no subscription for graphics design or Affinity Photo to replace Photoshop.

Hope it shows up in the next release, it is a good selling point.

I totally remember reading your original post now that I see it again - and I very much agree with you. Seems like a must have feature, doesn't it?

Not only that but Boris has just released a plug-in for Resolve to work with titling the WYSIWYG feature will be very handy.

i think, it's very challenging to implement this feature in a cross platform manner in an application, which uses the Qt for the GUI. this kind of wysiwyg font previews are AFAIK not available until now in this GUI toolkit out of the box. and although i can understand, that you like this feature from various other other applications, which use more native system specific capabilities on a particular platform, to archive this visual representation in the font selection dialogs, it's very hard to realize this kind of features in a satisfying cross platform solution. sure -- it's definitely possible, but it often makes applications thereby also quite bloated, low and full of annoying little bugs, and often do not help to make them significantly more productive at the end.
