Create and edit custom glyph sets
A glyph set is a named collection of glyphs from one or more fonts. Saving commonly used glyphs in a glyph set
prevents you from having to look for them each time you need to use them. Glyph sets are not attached to any
particular document; they are stored with other InDesign preferences in a separate file that can be shared.
You can determine whether the font is remembered with the added glyph. Remembering fonts is useful, for example,
when you are working with dingbat characters that may not appear in other fonts. If a glyph’s font is remembered,
but the font is missing, the font’s square appears in pink in the Glyphs panel and the Edit Glyph Set dialog box. If a
font is not remembered with an added glyph, a “u” appears next to the glyph, indicating that the font’s unicode value
determines the appearance of the glyph.
