the application will simulate bold, italic, or bold italic on the glyphs as it does when
you apply the Bold and Italic type styles using the Measurements palette.
• To view a subset of the glyphs in the font, choose an option from the Show drop-down
menu.
• To see any alternates available for a glyph, click the box in the lower-right corner of
an individual glyph's cell.
• If necessary, click the Zoom tool on the palette to increase the size of the glyphs.
• If you need a glyph's Unicode code point — for HTML authoring, for example — you
can see the Unicode code in the lower part of the palette.
• To insert a glyph at the text insertion point, double-click the glyph in the Glyphs
palette.
• If you frequently use specific glyphs from a font, you can save those glyphs as favorites
for quick access. To create a favorites list, first click the expander next to Favorite
Glyphs in the Glyphs palette (Window menu). Then, simply drag a glyph to an empty
cell in the Favorite Glyphs area. To delete a favorite, Control+click/right+click the
glyph and use the context menu.
Displaying invisible characters
The Invisibles option (View menu) is always helpful when editing text or fine-tuning
typography because it allows you to see common "invisible characters" such as spaces,
tabs, and paragraph returns.
Inserting special characters
There are all kinds of special characters for typographic and formatting purposes. You
can enter such special characters using keyboard commands or choose them from the
Utilities > Insert Character submenu. Each character displays differently when
invisibles are showing (View > Invisibles).
Inserting spaces
To insert a specific type of space — such as an em space — at the text insertion point,
choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Em Space or Utilities > Insert
Character > Special (nonbreaking) > Em Space. The options in the Nonbreaking
Space submenu act as "glue" between two words or numbers, for example, preventing
breaks from occurring between the two "glued" elements at the end of a line.
Inserting other special characters
To insert a special character other than a space — such as an em dash or a current page
number placeholder character — at the text insertion point, choose Utilities > Insert
Character > Special or Utilities > Insert Character > Nonbreaking Special.
