How to use the fonts and alternates on Windows, Mac, - Word, Publisher,
Cricut, Silhouette, etc.)?

Windows - Word, Publisher, Photoshop, Cricut, Silhouette, etc ;

You can access swashes & alternates/glyphs/swirls for Windows with Character
Map.

Go to Finder(start menu) and search for ‘Character Map’


• Open the Character map and choose the designed font.
• Check ‘advanced view’
• Select ‘Unicode Subrange’
• Select ‘Private Use Characters’
Now click select and copy the glyph of your choice and paste it in your program.
(Word, Cricut, Silhouette, etc)

on Microsoft Word 2010 or later versions have a glyph panel where you can
access the swashes & alternates.

First, select the correct font and go to Insert > More symbols > select the “Private
Use Area”
and select the glyph of your choice and click Insert.
Tip for MS Word Users: Be sure to have ‘kerning for fonts’ enabled for proper letter
spacing.

Mac - Word, Publisher, Cricut, Photoshop, Silhouette, etc ;

To access swashes & alternates on a Mac you can use Font Book. (use Spotlight
search
to launch it)
• Open the Font Book and choose the desired font
• switch to ‘repertoire view’, it’s the little icon at the top left with the grid/dots or
click on
‘view’ > ‘repertoire’. to see all glyphs
Now select and copy the glyph of your choice and paste it in your program.( Word,
Publisher, Cricut, Silhouette, etc)
using Font in iPhone or IPad :

if you go to the app store, search for IFont.


You can use their free version.
Once you open the ifont app, select the button "files," Then, at the top left, you will
see a button "import," click on this, please.
When the box opens, search for the font and tap on the font, it will install it.
Normally, the downloaded font will be located in "iCloud Drive," and you are
supposed to see the font in the zip folder (tap on the zip
folder).
It will unzip the folder and show you the font. Select the font and click on the
button: import to ifont.
On the left side of the ifont app, I recommend changing the setting to "group by...
to None + Sort by ... to Date Added, New to Old.
Then, you will see the font on the left side.
Click and ifont app; it will popup a box asking you to "Ignore" or "Allow."
Click Allow.
Lastly, a small box will ask you to go to your device setting to accept the new
profile. All you have to do is: in setting, at the left side,
click on "Profile Downloaded" and then on the Install button.
That's it; your font will work on your IPad :)

Enjoy the fonts!

Kind regards,
