I’m going to follow steps 3 to 4 again to add an (s) with a swash. This will automatically paste the new Glyph we copied. The text options box will pop up, from there tap on “Paste”. This will copy the Glyph as a working text that you can paste into Procreate.Īfter the Glyph has been copied, tap on the text box in Procreate and then tap 2 times (Not double-tap) where you want to place the new glyph. From the options select “Share Glyph”.Ī new window will pop up, from the options tap on “Copy”. To copy the glyph tap on the share icon at the top right corner. The next step is to copy the glyph from Unicode Character Viewer and paste it into my Procreate text. With my split-screen, I’m going to look for an alternate glyph for the capital letter D and tap on it.

To make this easier to see all Glyphs available and quickly add these to Procreate, I’m going to make it a split-screen between Unicode Character Viewer and Procreate. From there tap on the font name you want to use and it will display a character Glyph map.

Tap on “Browse Fonts” which is the first option you see. To see alternate Glyphs for your font open Unicode Character Viewer. Once you are done making the changes tap on “Done”. You can also change your font “Design” like the size, spacing, and opacity. Below “Font” scroll and find the font you want to use. You will now see a new font options panel showing at the bottom of your screen. A text options box will pop up above your text, tap on the font name (My default font is Eina 01). To change the default font of your text, double tap on the text (it will be highlighted blue). Type out the word or phrase you want to add alternate Glyphs to. You can add text by tapping on the Actions (Wrench) icon at the top left of your toolbar. With our canvas open, the first step we are going to take is to add text. With the app and our font installed, let’s get started and add Alternative Glyphs in Procreate. In this tutorial, we will be using an elegant script font called Memories.

If you are looking for ways to use Glyphs on other platforms, we also have tutorials on how to use Alternate Glyphs with Windows, and how to use Glyphs on Mac.
#FONTS FOR PROCREATE IPAD UPDATE#
Unfortunately, alternate Glyphs can’t be accessed directly within Procreate (but we sure hope they add an update for that). But, how exactly do you use alternate Glyphs in Procreate? I’m going to show you how you can do just that with an App called Unicode Character Viewer for $0.99. You’ve found a beautiful Script font with loads of swashes and alternate Glyphs.
