Would you happen to know how to access those fancy glyphs and alternate letters on a Mac????
Typically they can only be accessed in certain programs. For example, I can access them in Illustrator or Photoshop. What program are you using?
I have Illustrator, but feel much more confident with Pages for Mac. Any luck that you know how to do that??? I’ve not been able to find a way. And thanks so much for responding!
Once you install the fonts to your Mac, they should load on every program you use. If they don’t show up in Pages, you might have to do a restart, to get them to load!
