HOW TO USE THE OPENTYPE FONTS OR SPECIAL CHARACTERS FEATURE IN AI, PS & CANVA💥
A short tutorial from me on how to access Opentype Features or special characters in fonts using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop & Canva.
1. Adobe Illustrator
1. Open the Adobe Illustrator program. Go to the type tool panel and select the font you want. This time I used the Codigra font.
2. Type the word you want, then select the letters you want to replace. Usually the options appear immediately. If not, you can open the panel above, namely Windows > Type > Glyphs. There you can see all the available font characters.
Or you can also use the OpenType menu. The method is Windows > Type > OpenType. There you can access the features available in the font.
3. Additionally you can view all characters in the Font Book (Mac) or Character Map (Windows). You can also copy it from here.
2. Adobe Photoshop
1. Init is no different from Adobe Illustrator. Go to the type tool panel and select the font you want. This time I used the Codigra font.
2. Type the word you want, then select the letters you want to replace. Usually the options appear immediately. If not, you can open the panel above, namely Windows > Glyphs. There you can see all the available font characters.
Or you can also use the OpenType menu. The method is Windows > Character. There you can access the features available in the font.
3. Additionally you can view all characters in the Font Book (Mac) or Character Map (Windows). You can also copy it from here.
3. Canva
1. In Canva you can use it by copying it from Font Book (Mac) or Character Map (Windows). Copy the font from Font Book, then paste it into the letters you want to replace in your design in Canva.
