Not crazy about new font tool layout in design tool

[BevStuff]

I don't like new font layout format. It's big, gawky and I particularly dislike the lateral scroll option list of font categories: favs, recent, casual handwriting, etc. With a mouse pointer, a drop down menu works better and I like seeing all the category options all at once. Not piece by piece on a scroll line, which feels so visually limited. Could we not have an option to revert to a drop-down menu for mouse pointer use and also an option for new scroll format on font categories for people who use their fingers on phones & pads to choose? This is a customary solution when a change is made to offer a choice of either old or new format preference.

Not a fan of it either - it's a real space hog. Maybe I'll adjust once I get used to it, but it just seems like it requires a LOT of scrolling and moving around to get to all of the options. I do like the search option, but I just wish it was smaller relative to the rest of the screen - it's at least twice as wide as the old font window was.

I totally agree. I especially don't like the fact that "All Fonts" is at the very end! That is much more useful tab than "Popular," especially when we are trying to use new unique fonts, not the same old fonts everybody always uses. It looks like they are using a layout similar to Canva, but I liked Zazzle's old layout much better! I always find Canva's font tools clunky.

On a side note, am I the only one who can't get the fonts to actually WORK? If I click on the Bold or Italic option, or try to change a font, the design tool becomes unresponsive and then I get that dreaded "Reload or Continue and Try Again" popup.

It’s particularly tough to deal with on an iPad ☹️

I agree 100%. The tool simply isn't workable for me. The box covers up so much of the design area, and it's unintuitive to find all the fonts. I want the old font UX back -- this is such a disuptive curve ball! FYI, there's a discussion in the Technical forum if people want to provide feedback to Zazzle there.

Thanks for your feedback. This was also flagged in the tech forum here, which we're now reviewing.
