BELLO by Underware

Seadreams

Hi,
I recently purchased the BELLO typeface by Underware. Its a great typeface but I am having trouble accessing the ornaments.
I seem to be able to get the starting, ending swashes but not the ornaments? Can anyone who has this typeface help.
I need it desperately! Thanks!

I'm not really familiar with BELLO, but how are you attempting to access the ornaments - and do you actually mean ornaments, or the various "words" built into the font? Going through the Glyph palette in InDesign you should have access to every individual glyph, but I'd guess that the auto-replacements are either discretionary ligatures or contextual alternates, both of which can be "turned on" in the Character palette.

Hi Jason, I have opened the Glyph palette and what I am after are there, but how do I apply them to the end letter of a work, I am unsure. I have tried turning on all options in the open type palette but to no avail? Thanks for your reply.

The BELLO PDF seems to have a bunch of keystroke options for placing some of the features, but I can't quite figure them out. Have a look.

Hold on, do you mean how do you add a glyph from the Glyph palette into your text? On the crazy chance that this is what you mean, just put your cursor in your text box and then double-click on the glyph you want in the Glyph palette. Shazam.

If that's not what you meant, sorry to state the obvious.

Hey Jason, haha that is what I mean! Thanks so much. I can't believe all I had to do was double click!?!
Thanks

Real oldskool - first click is selection, second click is execution :)
