Change Text Preview String

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: The ability to change the text preview string in the text style dialog box.

Description: I would like AutoCAD to reinstate the option to change the text in the text font preview box.

How Used: The current preview box only displays the letters A, B, and C. It does not show any numbers. When looking for a specific font, the user will be able to find the font they need more efficiently by typing in the preview box exactly what they want.

That works in the MTEXT command, it doesn't work in the style definition dialog.

It used to work but it doesn't work in 2010 or 2011 and maybe since earlier than that.

works for mtext in 2009 (LDC Map3D).

I should have repeated "in the Style definition dialog"; sorry.

Ok, yeah -- _that's borked in 2009 as well.
