Why some glyphs are not working from some fonts? They are showing "No Unicode" in the Glyphs panel and I can't access them. I tried also to edit the font and add codes for the glyphs I want, but this method is not working.

Anybody do know how to fix this? I'm using Illustrator CS6 LS6. Thank you in advance.

    This all depends on the actual font file.

This happens when a selection of text containing glyphs from the extended set of a Unicode font is converted to a non-Unicode font. The font you're using simply doesn't have that glyph.

  • But why then in the glyphs panel the elements are present if I can't access them? I do not understand that )

  • My guess would be that the unicode glyphs are being automatically substituted using a system font. Can you share a screen shot of the panel?

  • So you can check the links for screenshots: puu.sh/hWes3/228c7d6dd3.jpg puu.sh/hWesJ/d4f1e24bee.jpg As you can see the character/element on the first screenshot does have a unicode code (U+0026), but the character/element in the second screenshot does not have a unicode code.

  • Handsome Script appears to not be a unicode font, so the "No Unicode" message is to be expected. So when you say you can't access them, what exactly do you mean? What is your method and what happens when you try it?
