Hi. Does anyone out there know of a way to do 2 versions of a letter in the same font (like the letter r for the middle of words and a different looking r for the end of a word)?
The easiest way is to simply place the Alt in the space for any seldom used glyph such as ^, <, >, or ~.
The problem is remembering where you put it.
The best way to do it is to place them in Italic, bold, and bold Italic versions in a font family.
This way, just change the text to italic and type the regular r key then change the font back to normal.
From the manual:
To change the font type (for example from Regular to Bold) you need to change a few settings:
Things that need to be done in order to change an existing regular font to italic, bold or bold italic are:
• Mac Style fields - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click the Metrics tab.
• Font Design - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click on the Metrics tab.
• All font subfamily name fields in the Naming window. This can be done through the AutoNaming feature.
• For a bold or bold italic version:
• Set Classification Weight to Bold - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click on the General tab.
• Set PANOSE Weight to Bold - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click on the Classification tab.
• For an italic or bold italic version:
• Set Italic Angle to a negative value (e.g. -16.33) - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click on the Post tab.
• Set Caret Slope values through Calculate Rise and Run - on the Format menu, click Settings and then click on the General tab.
