To highlight alternate glyphs in the text
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Composition (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS).
2 Select Substituted Glyphs, and click OK. Substituted glyphs in the text are highlighted in nonprinting purple.
Custom glyph sets
A glyph set is a named collection of glyphs from one or more fonts. Saving commonly used glyphs in a glyph set
prevents you from having to look for them each time you need to use them. Glyph sets are not attached to any
particular document; they are stored with other InCopy preferences.
You can determine whether the font is remembered with the added glyph. Remembering fonts is useful in such cases
as dingbat characters that may not appear in other fonts. If a glyph’s font is remembered but the font is missing, the
font’s square appears in pink in the Glyphs palette or the Edit Glyph Set dialog box. If a font is not remembered with
an added glyph, a “u” appears next to the glyph, indicating that the font’s unicode value determines the appearance
of the glyph.
To create a glyph set
1 Choose Type > Glyphs.
2 From the Glyphs palette menu, choose New Glyph Set.
3 Type the name of the glyph set, and click OK.
4 To add glyphs to the custom set, select a font at the bottom of the Glyphs palette, select the glyph, and then choose
the name of the custom glyph set from the Add to Glyph Set menu on the Glyphs palette menu.
To edit a custom glyph set
1 In the Glyphs palette, choose the custom glyph set from the Show menu.
2 Choose Edit Glyph Set from the Glyph palette menu.
3 Select the glyph you want to edit, do any of the following, and then click OK:
• To bind the glyph to its font, select Remember Font with Glyph. A glyph that remembers its font ignores the font
applied to the selected text in the document when the glyph is inserted into that text. It also ignores the font
specified in the Glyph palette itself. If you deselect this option, the unicode value of the current font is used.
• To view additional glyphs, choose a different font or style. If the glyph is not defined with a font, you cannot select
a different font.
• To remove a glyph from the custom glyph set, choose Delete from Set.
To insert special characters
You can insert common characters such as em dashes and en dashes, registered trademark symbols, and ellipses.
1 Using the Type tool, position the insertion point where you want to insert a character.
2 Choose Type > Insert Special Character, and then select an option from the context menu.
If special characters that you use repeatedly do not appear on the list of special characters, add them to a glyph set
that you create.
