I've learnt something new today too and this is going to be so useful. Thanks again for sharing your endless tips and tricks - I don't know what we'd do without you :-)
Thankyou so much for this additional video for windows glyphs. It worked a treat. Before I saw this video I was just opening Love Moon or any glyph font I had installed on the convertor and typing capitals A-Z in the font convertor then lowercase a-z and saving them on my desktop and then taking into canvas and using them there to type whatever words I needed so this is a lot simpler. Thanks again for all your trouble great tutorial
Thank you SO very much for these videos!!! You have been a life saver! I recently got a Mac and the SNC and you have made this so simple to learn. Bless you!!! -Vesta from USA
There isn't an equivalent to Font Book on a PC so I wasn't able to see the curly fonts that you did on your video. But that is pretty darn cool. Thanks for sharing. Footnote to post: I was able to access it by choosing group Unicode subrange and then selecting Private Use Characters. THANKS ASHLEY
Yes there is its called character map, you get to it from the start, all programmes, system tools. Ive managed to fire up my husbands all windows 7 laptop, installed the Love Moon font and found it by doing this once the character map is open *****under where it says advanced view i ticked it and the in group by i chose Unicode subrange, this brings up another box and i scrolled down and chose Private Use Characters and the glyphs show up***
Thank you for this information Ashley, I have windows 10 so going to take a look see if it has something similar to the mac font book I know it has a character map but i dont think its shows all installed fonts, Of to search now
Beverly Potter....OK I have been playing and on my Windows 10 computer I had to download an application in the Windows store to be able to access all the beautiful fonts. It is FREE. The one I downloaded is ''Character Map UWP'' and it is easy and beautiful to work with. Was able to copy and paste in the SNC Font Converter, and save to my computer and open in SNS Canvas.
in character map do this I've tried it and it works ****under where it says advanced view i ticked it and the in group by i chose Unicode subrange, this brings up another box and i scrolled down and chose Private Use Characters and the glyphs show up**
I'm confused (nothing new) about these glyphs, etc. How do I know if a given font has glyphs? I'm on a MacBook. I installed the Brother Font Converter (is it still needed?) and have the Font Book in my tool bar. Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I'm getting ready to start using my Foil Quill and Universal Pen Holder (no, not together but to create different styles) to create some embellishments for cards.
They don’t all have them, but when you look at a font in font book on your Mac, you Amy see extras that are not associated with letters or numbers, then you can follow this tutorial. Now that we have a download version of canvas for our Macs, the font converter isn’t necessary as the download version uses fonts that are on your computer.
Font book is free on a Mac, you will have something similar on a windows computer, just type using glyphs with windows into google or type glyphs in a search box on your computer and you should find info. Also Theses posted a link that is within Fontbundles website too for using with Windows.

@@applelover53 Thanks so much re the Font Converter. I'll keep using my Font Book to search for glyphs.
When I pull up Font Book, it doesn't display all of the letters and glyphs? How can I fix this?
If i did not explain in this video, i am sure i have said in another video. Have a look in my Font playlist i have other videos thanks
For windows do we need to purchase a Font Book or what do we do to download it please. Loved your video really learnt alot tonight. Thanks
