Find and change glyphs

The Glyph section of the Find/Change dialog box is especially useful for replacing glyphs that share the same unicode value with other similar glyphs, such as alternate glyphs.

  1. Choose Edit > Find/Change.
  2. At the bottom of the dialog box, specify a range from the Search menu, and click icons to determine whether items such as locked layers, master pages, and footnotes are included in the search. (See Search options for finding and changing text.)
  3. Under Find Glyph, select the Font Family and Font Style in which the glyph is located.

    The Font Family menu displays only those fonts that are applied to text in the current document. Fonts in unused styles do not appear.

  4. Do one of the following to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box:

    • Click the button beside the Glyph box, and then double-click a glyph on the panel. This panel works like the Glyphs panel.

    • Choose Unicode or GID/CID, and enter the code for the glyph.

    You can use other methods to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box. Select a glyph in the document window and choose Load Selected Glyph In Find from the context menu, or select a glyph in the Glyphs panel and choose Load Glyph In Find from the context menu.
  5. Under Change Glyph, enter the replacement glyph by using the same techniques you use to enter the glyph you’re searching for.
  6. Click Find.
  7. To continue searching, click Find Next, Change (to change the most recently found glyph), Change All (a message indicates the total number of changes), or Change/Find (to change the current occurrence and search for the next one).
  8. Click Done.
