ronnyb Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It would be cool when working with Opentype fonts with alternate glyphs, to be able to select a character with alternate glyphs and have AD present you the alternate glyphs, in the same manner as autocorrect presents alternate spelling suggestions beneath a misspelled word. Thanks for your consideration. yaneczech, Brian D and lipeijia 3 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dave Harris Posted October 6, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes, this is one of the OpenType areas where we still have work to do. ronnyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagayascienza Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I agree, a way to access all glyphs in a font is what I need the most. ronnyb's suggestion is nice but a simple panel showing all glyphs in the current font would already be great. For now I use Font Book or a small utility called PopChar to select the glyph I need, but it is cumbersome, and some fonts (Adobe Caslon Pro for example) have characters that are not mapped to a unicode code point and cannot be pasted in AD.

Staff Dave Harris Posted January 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2016 The current Mac App Store version does now include previews in its Typography panel, and this now supports OpenType features for All Alternates and Stylistic Alternates. We still need a way to browse all the glyphs in a font, that works for all fonts even if they don't do OpenType; that will come in due course.
