        Weird; on my macbook I can do filled text ok but I do have the non-responsive font dialogue. except that I can type a font size value in the top-right field.

          and move the slider also.
          But still cannot change font indeed.

                  Hi Everyone,

                  Sorry for the late response on this topic.

                  The Font problem is a known issue with Leopard using the 3D Text Tool.

                  Here are a couple of other gotchas...All the problems are being worked on as I type and we hope to have this problems resolved soon.

                    It is not only 3D Text Tool, it is ALL Text tolls !!!
                    Hum... I hate a response which is off the matter. Feels like a quick "get it off my desk".

                      Hi Guys,

                      Though I'm on Windows, I know that most recent maintenance release 4 covered some issues with Leopard.
                      Could you download and install and check back whether the problem still exists?

                          Ah, good news then.
                          Thanks for reporting back (they need reassurance at the very moment...)

                            Hmm, I have that same version and although I can set the font and size of 3D text I can't do anything with dimensional or other text; the font dialogue is simply ignored and attempting to use the context menu and the font->styles option just makes a chirp.
