Hiding the font face in the font popup

If opening up the font list is a little slow, you can disable the rendering of the font face preview in the list which will speed things up considerably. Quit Acorn, and then paste this in the terminal:

defaults write com.flyingmeat.Acorn displayFaceInFontPopup 0

Opening the secret "Advanced" preferences

Then launch Acorn, and it should be there in the File menu now.
