• 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.
Specifying character language
You can specify the language to be used for hyphenation and spell checking by applying
a character language to text. This lets you mix words from different languages in the same
paragraph without triggering poor hyphenation or more Suspect Words in Spell Check
(Utilities menu). In addition to applying a specific language to characters, you can apply
None so that a word is not considered for hyphenation or spell checking.
To apply a language to selected characters, use the Language drop-down menu in the
Character Attributes dialog box (Style > Character) or the Character tab of the
Measurements palette.
