Hi, this maybe teaching certain designers how to suck eggs but I thought I would share this.
Recently I've had problems scrolling through my fonts in Illustrator in the character menu with the arrow keys. I would scroll maybe 4 fonts and then it would skip and go to the bottom of my font list, very annoying!!
So if you have had this problem before here is a solution that worked for me,
Turn off Enable Missing Glyph Protection.
In Illustrator CS5 choose Edit > Preferences > Type.
Remove the check-mark for Enable Missing Glyph Protection.
I'm now able to scroll perfectly through all fonts without a problem!!
If there are any other tips designers would like to share please do.

Wow, i had that problem and i used to use my mouse to click through hundreds of fonts, during which i would miss many.. This is a good tip, thanks :)
thaaaannkssss!! where is the like button???????? :) That was a huge problem.. I have more than 9000 fonts and every time that it was going ti the bottom skipping all my fonts I was like "@#&%$#@"! :P :P :P
This guy has a lot of good information about the Creative Suite:

Thanks for sharing. This isn't the first problem I've heard about with CS5. I bought that version ages ago, but am reluctant to install it since I'm not having problems with CS4, and haven't heard of any real advantages of CS5 vs. CS4.
