Yes absolutely needed feature. This is the prototype I made as one of the possible solutions: https://www.figma.com/proto/TrYPUY4TN0cQ78q0NMjdtm/Product-Design-ideas?node-id=130%3A106&viewport=-2182%2C393%2C0.18&scaling=min-zoom&starting-point-node-id=141%3A7&show-proto-sidebar=1

how has this not been implemented yet
I use a plugin to do that. it’s called Font Preview and it’s pretty handy: Font Preview | Figma Community But I totally agree with you folks, this should be implemented
Please add preview font in default Figma drop-down menu ui. Why Figma ignore this function? This will help novice designers, as well as facilitate visual work and font selection.
letme now please if there is any.

please add font preview.
Hover over text when you use the dropdown. Then you can preview fonts quicker rather than arrows down to find the perfect font.
Hey All,
Thank you for your feedback and votes! To be completely transparent, this is on Figma’s radar, but we don’t have an exact timeline we can share just yet. Our team is definitely working on it though - stay tuned! 
Please oh please describe more precisely the exact steps of this magic trick. I’m trying what you said, but nothing. How can we preview fonts? Thanks : )
Sorry for the confusion, @Meowface_Sam!
This was merged from another topic. They’re simply describing what they hope to see once the feature is launched.
HELP!!! Might there exist some kind of workaround, some way to trick Figma into previewing fonts? We’re bashing our skulls in not being able to preview fonts. The ability to preview fonts in the word-processing realm was standardized 30 years ago, which in tech-years is 3,000 years ago. If the person hired to manage the word-processing feature put down whatever he or she is currently doing, realistically how long would it take this person to flip the fonts over to be displayed in their own font? Three, four hours?
We’re begging you!!!

As mentioned a few days ago, our team has already been working on this. While we wish it would only take a few hours, the team can’t promise a specific timeline but please know that it’s coming!
Cool

When choosing a font, hovering over the font with the arrow does not immediately show how the text has changed to match the font we have chosen. It would be nice if you could immediately see how the text changes on hover.
Hey @kaparova.aisylu,
We’ve merged your idea with a similar existing feature request. Our team’s already working on making this happen!
