The (Hidden) Glyphs Palette
Comparing the Same Character in Different Fonts
The Character Palette has two great features that Quark’s and Adobe’s glyph palettes do not. It can tell you which fonts actually include a particular glyph, and it can compare the same character in multiple fonts at the same time. Fortunately, you can use the Character Palette alongside QuarkXPress 7 and all the Adobe Creative Suite applications, too.
After you choose a glyph in the Character Palette, click the triangle next to the Font Variation option to expand the palette. When the Collections popup menu is set to “Containing selected character,” the palette shows you all the fonts that contain the glyph. Scroll through the list to compare them.
