Fabulous Fonts

A few tips for making the most of Apple fonts. In Pages, select the Format drop down menu, then select Font and slide over to choose Show Fonts.  This will bring up the fonts window below that you have seen before. If you look under the action menu (it looks like a gear sprocket) you will find the option to Show Preview.  That opens a window that will show what the fonts actually look like.






Another option under the action menu is Characters. Selecting that will give you many screens of characters that you can insert into your document by clicking on your choice.  If you switch to the larger version of the character window, glyphs are shown in your current font but you can see how the glyph appears in other fonts in the lower left under font variations.  If you use a particular glyph frequently, it can be added to your favorites.
