Its A Font Thing Question

[Shai]

Hiya!

When I look at all the characters available, with a font, numbers are located in the box. These characters aren't located on my keyboard. How do you get to use those characters?

Thanks!! (Using the pound would be a great thing LoL)

Shai, on some fonts, you might need to use the shift key (for making capital letters) to get something different. Try that with the font you want to use and see if you get what you were looking for. I have a font called MA Flirty that when you use the shift button, you actually get words instead of a capital letter. It's great for little girls pages.

There's got to be an easy way to do it in Photoshop, but for now I open Microsoft Word, use Insert > Symbol to pick the symbol I want, and copy and paste back into Photoshop.

To see all the special characters, have you tried the "Character Map"? I often resort to that, as it comes in quite handy for finding out which keys makes which symbol or character, . I actually even have it on my start bar, makes it quick to access without having to go through the programs and accessories and then system tools, just to get to it, . Using the character map, it shows each character for every font, and is actually a great thing I think to have at your fingertips at any given time, .
