Darren with TypeDNA sent this to me to share with all of you. This is a screen grab of what they are working on right now. A glyph palette! This will be part of the TypeDNA plugins for Adobe's Creative Suite. So, until Adobe gives us an integrated glyph palette, perhaps this will do the trick!

I'm not sure how many questions Darren will answer at present, but if we can keep the questions here I'll let him know about this thread.
