paolo.limoncelli Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hi! Today icon fonts are a de-facto in UI design and there are tons of libraries available. It would be very useful to have a glyph palette or studio to list them all for quick&dirty usage in projects. Just a simple grid should work. Pick or double click to insert them in a text object. I know you love to do things "the very Serif way" so candies such as CSS escape code or hex code label for each character should be a well praised feature! :) Cheers!

Neolist Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just want to support this idea. Glyphs palette is necessity. Not just because of the icon fonts. Every serious (professional) designer needs full control on all the glyphs in any font. cadobir, sissun, 000 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really in Typo/DTP design but I agree with you. 000 1 Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes please -- the OSX tool for inserting symbols has gotten unusable due to the emojis and a missing font selector. A_B_C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petar Petrenko Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It would be very nice to be able to choose even other font styles (Bold, Italic...) not just "Regular/Normal".

Robert22 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Paolo, I know. Just wanted to bring it up in case they implement it in a different way... BTW I purchased your brush sets for both AD for windows and Clip Studio Paint, great job I really like them. Thanks! paolo.limoncelli 1 Quote AD 1.5.1.43 / AP 1.5.0.45 Windows 10 Pro 64bit - Intel i7 6700 @ 3.4GHz - nVidia GTX 970 4GB - 32" Monitor 2560x1440 - 32 GB Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert22 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Alfred, Sorry if I did not make myself clear. The way it's done now is fine with fonts and characters. Converting characters to curves is a nice source of additional design elements. If a new glyph panel is set up, besides using the glyphs in text, they are an excellent source of shapes for use in designs. Just wanted to ensure that, however they are implemented, they could be converted to curves.

I guess that since these are chars you would use a text field to place them, so all available text manipulations will be available automatically maybe? Form text along a curve up to curves extraction... It is a font by the way. The representation of available glyphs is a visual shortcut that helps to avoid ASCII or other tricky direct input methods: double click and you're done. :) Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it would be great to have a glyph panel, and having selected a shape from there it would indeed be important to be able to convert it to curves. (I can't imagine it not being implemented that way, but what do I know?)
