ESSENTIALS: Using Extended Font Characters

EXTENDED FONT CHARACTERS:
Ways to access the “Latin” characters in Native fonts such as Block Condensed .
1. Type your words in a word processor that uses the foreign language and then copy the phrase and paste into the Text box of the Lettering object or copy from source/web and paste into the Text box.
2. On more recent Mac, just hold down the appropriate key – ie the a and the alternates will popup.
3. In newer Windows 10 – Hold down Windows key and hit . (period) on the regular keyboard – then click Symbols (Omega) and Latin Symbols (4th icon over) – find the character and click on it.
4. On Mac, Hold down Control + Command and press Spacebar to launch the viewer. Once you have the Character Viewer open, select Latin from the left side and then scroll down to the Accented Latin Characters section to see the special characters. From here, you can simply select the letter you need and then drag it into the text entry field.
5. In Windows, Create a shortcut on your desktop to the Character Map – put this in the Properties target %windir%\system32\charmap.exe – when it opens, click on the character you want and click on Select, click and select on each character you want, then click Copy – in Text box in Embrilliance Letters object, paste.
6. If you use the same characters frequently, then open the Character Map and make note of the Keystroke code that shows up on bottom right corner, then whenever you need that character, in the Letters Text box, hold the ALT key and on your NUMERIC keypad, type in the four digit code and when you let go of the ALT key, the character will show up in your text box.
