For today's Jaguar new feature (this one could be 5 or 6 features by itself
but we don't count like that), there's the new Character Palette.
Be prepared to be blown away by something as 'simple' as a palette with glyphs
from your installed fonts. There is a ton of information in the Unicode spec,
and this feature exposes as much of that info as you want.
There are two ways to active the character palette. From the Font panel, choose
"Show Characters" from the Extas popup or go to the International
preferences panel and enable the Character Palette from the Input Menu.
Here's a quick tour of some of the cool things you can do:
 |
Want to find special characters from a Roman
font? You can browse for them in these categories and not worry about
trying to remember the command-shift-left-elbow command key equivalent.
You can remember favorites and see exactly what fonts include a given
glyph, all from this palette. |
You have access to every Unicode code block and can view related characters
for any glyph from the Unicode set.
You can even scan through every glyph available in any installed font. Be sure
to check out the Hiragino fonts with a massive number of exceptionally high
quality glyphs.
