Did you know that you can use font glyphs in Microsoft Word as well? It’s not as intuitive to use as Adobe Photoshop, but it can be done.
First, open up Microsoft Word and type out your text.
Then, select the character that you want to turn into a glyph and right click. A menu should appear and then select “Font”.
Once you select “Font”, another menu will appear. Click on the “Advanced” tab.
Go to Stylistic Sets – I’ve noticed that most fonts do not have the Glyphs labelled, but in my experience, the option “1” means the left glyph facing set for most fonts.
Now we have our left glyph! Doesn’t it make the text look and feel different?
Next, we want to add the ending right glyph to the “p” in “shop”. Select the last character, right click, and click on “Font” again. Go to the “Advanced” tab and select “2” for “Stylistic Sets”.
Now, we have our glyphs added onto our text!
Sometimes it can be tricky to determine which stylistic set is the glyph you want, but try playing around with them and experiment.
