How do you change your font preview in Photoshop CS3!!?

Hello all, when scrolling through my possible CS3 fonts they all preview the font in by writing the word ';sample'; next to the font name; does anyone know how to change the word from sample to another word- im looking for a good ';y'; character! Thank you!How do you change your font preview in Photoshop CS3!!?
I wouldn't doubt that there is some deep, dark way of doing it, but I'm 99% sure there isn't a basic setting in Photoshop where you can change the sample text. You can select the size (of 3 sizes) in Type Preferences.



I would suggest using a font viewer. That way, not only can you preview anything you want, you don't have to install all your fonts and you can temporarily install a font so you don't clog up your system. (Note: this isn't something that works inside of Photoshop, it's its own thing, but it would help you a lot).



There are a bunch out there, but I like AMP Font Viewer. It isn't fancy, it doesn't have a sexy interface, but it's free, safe and very easy to use. I've been running it for years. http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontVieHow do you change your font preview in Photoshop CS3!!?
you could always creat a ';y'; in your composition and then select different fonts
