How to find all the characters in a font<article>
<section class="page">
<p>
In a recent Mac 911,
I answered Lynn Garwood’s question about character selection when she upgraded from Mavericks to El Capitan:</p>
<p>
In the old system, I could click on the [
input palette] icon in the menu bar and see all the characters within any font that I chose, then double-click it to add it to my document. In El Capitan, that icon produces nothing but emoji and symbols. Where can I find all the characters within a font so I can do what I used to do?</p>
<p>
Except I didn’t! I read her question as asking about key combinations, and pointed her to the Keyboard Viewer. Astute commenter “xploraiswakco” very politely noted that I had answered her question
sort of, but not really the core of what she was asking: the Character Viewer had changed to the Emoji & Symbols palette, and no longer has the same approach to showing characters (not key combinations) in every font. (Thank you, xploraiswakco!)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3109324/macs/how-to-find-all-the-characters-in-a-font.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
