In this movie I'll show you how to access special characters that you can't get to…from the keyboard from the Glyphs panel. And if you're a big type fan, you are…going to love this panel. It's absolutely great for finding any…sorts of characters inside of a font. I've saved my progress as Fourstylesetal.ai.…And I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on the first page here.…And you can see that it's looking pretty darn great.…Especially, if I go ahead and throw in the backgrounds, which are contained on this…Pages layer. So if you turn that Pages layer on, you'll…see the ornaments around the text. But we're missing here is the ornaments…between the stanzas. So I'm going to double click after the…word ukulele. And I need to move my cursor over a…character, after the period. So I'll just go ahead and press the right…arrow key to nudge the insertion marker. And then I'll press the Enter key, or the…Return key on the Mac, in order to drop down a line.…
Now the character we're looking for is actually part of Adobe Caslon Pro.…
