How To Use A Character Map
Open your font in your character map
Find the glyph you want to use.
Copy it
Paste it.
IMPORTANT - The program you paste into must be set to the exact same font.
So if you are pasting into design space, make sure your text box is set to the exact font you copied from.
If you copy from Samantha Upright, and the text box in Design Space is set to Samantha Craft, the glyph will not appear.
For fonts with glyphs, I always recommend using fontlab pad, then saving as an svg and uploading to Design Space. FLP is free, and it will properly space your fonts.
That's the quick version. For a step by step with screenshots, go here:
(That also tells you about fonts with "easy glyphs" that do not require a character map)
In Maintype Logic (My favorite free character map) you can paste all of the glyphs into the sample panel and then copy and paste all of the text at once, once you have a design you like.
