Using Extended Character Glyphs in Illustrator

By , About.com GuideNovember 7, 2011

Follow me on:

Illustrator ships with a variety of OpenType Fonts which often have a myriad of extended characters (also known as glyphs) that can add real flair to your layouts. There are also many OpenType fonts for sale online. But how do you access these extended characters and glyphs?

Sara showed you how to use the OpenType Panel last month, and this month, she shows you another way to access them, using the Glyphs Panel in Illustrator.
