Find and change glyphs
The Glyph section of the Find/Change dialog box is especially useful for replacing glyphs that share the same unicode value with other similar
glyphs, such as alternate glyphs.
InDesign Secrets provides a clear example about finding and changing glyphs at Finding and Changing Glyphs .
1. Choose Edit > Find/Change.
2. At the bottom of the dialog box, specify a range from the Search menu, and click icons to determine whether items such as locked layers,
master pages, and footnotes are included in the search.
3. Under Find Glyph, select the Font Family and Font Style in which the glyph is located.
The Font Family menu displays only those fonts that are applied to text in the current document. Fonts in unused styles do not appear.
4. Do one of the following to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box:
Click the button beside the Glyph box, and then double-click a glyph on the panel. This panel works like the Glyphs panel.
Choose Unicode or GID/CID, and enter the code for the glyph.
You can use other methods to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box. Select a glyph in the document window and choose
Load Selected Glyph In Find from the context menu, or select a glyph in the Glyphs panel and choose Load Glyph In Find from the
context menu.
5. Under Change Glyph, enter the replacement glyph by using the same techniques you use to enter the glyph you’re searching for.
6. Click Find.
7. To continue searching, click Find Next, Change (to change the most recently found glyph), Change All (a message indicates the total
number of changes), or Change/Find (to change the current occurrence and search for the next one).
8. Click Done.
Find and change fonts
Use the Find Font command to search for and list the fonts used throughout your document. You can then replace any fonts (except those in
imported graphics) with any other fonts available on your system. You can even replace a font that’s part of a text style. Note the following:
A font name is listed once for its use in the layout and listed each time in imported graphics. For example, if you use the same font three
times in the layout and three times in imported graphics, it will be listed in the Find Font dialog box four times—once for all layout instances,
and three more times for each imported graphic. If fonts are not completely embedded in graphics, the font name may not be listed in the
Find Font dialog box.
Find Font is not available in a Story Editor window.
The Find Font dialog box displays icons to indicate the kinds of fonts or font conditions, such as Type 1 fonts , imported images ,
TrueType fonts , OpenType fonts , and missing fonts .
You can find and change composite fonts, but you cannot change component fonts that are part of composite fonts.
