Beginner: Affinity V.2, font menu does not open the way it does in the tutorials: can I fix it?

[Amy Choue]

I'm learning Affinity suite by watching the great series of lectures delivered by Ally. One thing I've been wondering about is the way font menu opens in the lectures and the way it does in my computer. I'm attaching a screen capture of how it opens in the lecture: all the fonts are presented at once and you can scroll down over the fonts to see how they will look on the design. 

 

I'm also attaching a photo that shows how it opens in my computer. Font menu here presents only a segment of the fonts; while within the given segment I can hover over the fonts to see how they look in the work, I'll have to move over and scroll down the bar on the right to go over to the next segment of fonts. I am hoping this is something fixable. Is there a way to fix it?

No, it has always been limited to displaying just 11 fonts on the Windows version, no matter the size of your display

Not sure why but only the Devs can fix it

Probably the developers rolled the dice on the list height. 😂

The way it opens on the Mac version looks far better than that of the Windows version. On the Windows, it's not easy to try all the fonts; I move over and drag the scroll down, and it's natural to skip some of those on the top portion. I hope, if this is something fixable, the developers seriously look into this.

At least, I hope (I don't use Windows…), you can type the first letter(s) of a font name to skip the beginning of the alphabetical list.
