Working with Glyphs
A glyph is a style variation—such as ligatures, ordinals, swashes, and fractions—for a
given character in an OpenType font. OpenType fonts appear with an “O” next to the font
name on the Font submenu. OpenType fonts are designed to work well on both Windows
and Macintosh operating systems, which reduces font substitution problems when going
back and forth between platforms. However, you can always add more character styles to
extend the font format. For example, you can change fractions with numerals and slashes
to properly formatted fractions. You can automatically insert alternate glyphs with the
OpenType panel or insert them manually with the Glyphs panel to extend the font format.
