The way that I do it is by opening the font in Illustrator and opening the opentype glyph panel and copying it into Zazzle.

Yup, the switch to Morgana required changing the characters on the glyphs as well as the font. They did manage to get this particular design sorted out after a few days, and a few other glitchy type things seem to have sorted themselves out as well. I have had to fix a handful of designs manually - mostly because Morganas tails (on the letters “g” and “y” etc.) seem to extend further below the line that Blooming Elegant, and it cause a problem with some designs.
The ones I’m really holding my breath on are the symbol fonts. They haven’t done much replacing of those yet, but the ones I’ve found where they have replaced them have produced less than stellar results. Sigh.
Unfortunately some people don’t have the replace option yet. Thankfully I do have it. I was never a fan of Blooming Elegant, so I don’t have to cope with that change very much and the replacement fits my design aesthetic. I do feel for the designers who used it on thousands of products.

The reason I used Blooming Sans was because it was all caps, so I didn’t have to type everything in all caps, or hope that the customer realizes they have to do that. Dongle isn’t all caps. The two fonts are very similar otherwise, though.
@Colorflow Many of these fonts are on FontBundles.net, so I look there first, and if they are there, I click on “View Font Glyphs” below the description, and then download that pdf. Then I can just copy and paste any character I want from that. You don’t have to buy the font to use this. But there are several posts here in the forums where people have made charts for a lot of the fonts, so you could also get them from that. Morgana and Everglow are 2 fonts that I know of that have universal swashes.
