William Overington Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Thank you for the latest beta version. I still cannot get the search facility of the glyph browser to work. Could someone possibly provide step by step instructions of exactly, precisely how to search for U+00b0 and then get the character into the document please? To me, the documentation is not clear. > Search—Enter a Glyph value, a Unicode value or a text phrase to locate a Glyph or Unicode character. For example, "G+0131", "U+00b0" or the phrase "degree" will all show the degree symbol, respectively. I am using the Arial font at 24 point in an ordinary text frame.

Searching is pretty much like the Help said: Put U+00b0 into the search field, and the browser shows that character: Then, to get the character into the document, just double-click it and it's inserted at the cursor in the active text frame.

William Overington Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Well, it does not for me. Could it be because I have the light grey alternative colour scheme in use?

walt.farrell Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 What part doesn't work? The search or the insertion into the text frame? Can you provide a screenshot?

Can you provide a screenshot? The search. I enter U+00b0 into the search box, as in your screenshot, except that mine is in the alternative colour scheme, but no selected glyph is indicated. I had wondered if I needed to click something to start the search, but from your post it appears not. Here is a part of a screenshot.

William Overington Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I have just added a bug report in the section for the Windows version. Yet I was unable to copy and paste a link to this thread. If there is anyone reading this who knows how to do that, then posting the link as a 'reply' to my bug report would be helpful please.

Hi @William Overington, hover the mouse over a forum post and look at the top right corner of it. There you see the text 'Report post' followed by a small icon with three dots and lines between them: If you click on this icon a pop up window opens with a link to this very post. You can copy it and paste it to another post elsewhere in the forum. d.
