All glyphs of a font in Indesign?

Sebastian Nagel

Is there an easier and faster way to get all glyphs of a font (both, glyhps with unicode and those without) to Indesign cs2 than doubleclicking each one in the glyph palette?

Thanks for your help
Sebastian

Yes, do a Quick Test in FontLab, choose all characters, and then copy > paste to InDesign.
Cheers!

I tried that, but there are missing all glyphs that have no unicode assigned... I’ll try again.

Ah, I think perhaps that it has to have unicode assigned, otherwise the clipboard cant recognize which glyph you are pasting.

You could assign some numbers from the Private Use Area to them temporary for this task perhaps (?).
