Figure 4-55) is one of the most useful type tools in all of Il-

lustrator because it gives you access to every character a font

has to offer. (You can bring up the Glyphs panel by choosing

Type➝ Glyphs.) The and icons decrease and increase the

size of the character previews; the pop-up menus at the bottom

allow you to choose the font and style to view. A small icon

in the lower-right corner indicates that alternates are available

for that character. Simply double-click a glyph to insert it (as-

suming the text tool is active).

I want to insert a second ornament in the byline to match the

fi rst. With the type tool, click at the end of the byline to set

the insertion point. (Be sure to include the trailing space.) The

ornament is from Adobe Garamond Pro Italic; change the font

at the bottom of the Glyphs panel to Adobe Garamond Pro and

the Style to Italic. Scroll all the way to the bottom to fi nd the

glyph highlighted in Figure 4-55, and double-click to insert it.

but my hope is that this lesson leaves you well-prepared to delve

into the meticulous yet rewarding craft that is typesetting.
