Fix the sample text preview immediately!!!!

The Adobe Fonts site is one of the shttiest user experiences I've come across in ages. Stop using the font ads/graphics and let me see the gddamned sample text I typed in the preview window. And why am I required to retype that sample text when I click on view font family??? Being Adobe, how can you not find competent designers? They obviously don't use the site themselves. I have SO many more complaints about the UX on the site and how y'all have complicated font usage, but this BS needs to be fixed immediately. You're messing with my livelihood and you aren't improving things with your programs and services. I used to love my Adobe products. Now I HATE them. Great job.

    @ivan 4 years later and sample text still doesn't persist across pages. Its really annoying having to constantly type it out.

    utter trash, it's unbearable, I just stopped looking for fonts, the search, it shouldn't even be called search, the tags?! What in gods name! What ever happened to that persisting sample text? Why is it telling me to launch a Fonts App that does not even exist! I'm in Safari. I tried to hack it together in chrome by changing the code, but it was just as cumbersome, though more efficient than actually using your own UI.

    Let me use the sample text I need when browsing fonts at all times—without ever having to retype it when I dig down into individual fonts. Let me choose more than 1 category when filtering...say when I want to look at thin type in serif & sans serif. Use your damn AI to come up with better descriptors for searches. Finally, do what your customers need and ask for. I used to love Adobe, now you just suck and cause frustration. DO BETTER

    Brian – if you begin typing in the Sample Text field, it should revert to showing that text rather than the specimen images. If this is not working for you, can you tell me what browser and version you're using?

    You can also disable the images by unchecking the "Images" button to the left of the Sample Text field.

    Agree that sample text should persist across pages – we'll check on that.
