chkmtn Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 HI. Does AD have a feature simlar to Illustrator or InDesign where you can display all of the glyphs in any given font? This is very handy when needing an alternate glyph in your text. anon1, SilverBird, sissun and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandbrilliance Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I would also need this. Particular for things like FontAwesome, Entypo, etc. where we use Font icons in designs.

Dave Harris Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Not currently, no. We probably will at some point but I've no idea when. We do plan to provide a better version of the "Access All Alternates" OpenType feature, which may help, but that relies on the font designers implementing it.

maschinsky Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There is a cool little program called PopChar that is my go-to solution for finding and using glyphs from fonts across all apps in OSX. http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/ SilverBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's some limitations, but the "characters of current font" won't work here :( SilverBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Petrenko Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Some applications display the glyphs only for Normal/Regular font or better said -- non-italic ones. It would be very convenient if Affinity software displays the glyphs from ALL members of the typeface family because, especially for Macedonian users, there are some specific glyphs for our language in italic fonts.

yaneczech Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 As a type designer and graphic designer I would appreciate this option too, it is far easier to access glyphs which are not available on keyboard.

Daenomicus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I was wondering the same question the there day that was working in a illustration and I needed to find specific glyphs in dingbat fonts. I would be very handy to have this option in the future. By the way, maybe can be useful the workaround I used. Go to Font Book App, select a font and choose the full repertoire view, the copy and paste the glyph you need in a text frame. Hope It would be of help.

Korrel Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Great to see that the Glyph browser is there. What would make it even better would be: If a letter is selected that the Glyph browser jumps to this font + letter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
