Blooming Elegant Auto Substitutions Example

[Connie]

Here is a comparison as they automatically change over the Blooming Elegant Family. The Sans font was already typed in all caps, so it doesn't look too bad with Dongle. So far, I the ones I have that were not already all caps, have not been changed, so I don't know how that will go.

I do like the J better on Blooming Elegant, and also the fact that it was a more uniform thickness. while Morgana looks more elegant, it also tends to not be so visible in the thumbnail because of the thinner up-strokes. Overall, it's a pretty good match though, and I'm happy they found another font with universal tails.

Here's a comparison with tails:

How do you know what each box is?  And thank you for the help!

You don't know what's in it until you paste it into a text box in the design tool and see what's there when you change to different fonts. It's a totally primitive way to do it, but it's the only one I know of. 

There are Unicode chart programs that you can get for your computer where you can see what's in each character for each different font, but they only work with fonts that you have installed on your system.

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

There is no such thing as a universal swash/glygh. All fonts are coded by the font designers. They places their swashes and glyphs where they want to in the font map on the backend of the font design in OpenType fonts. Sometimes it works out between two fonts, but often it doesn't that is why some swashed you are seeing characters instead of matching glyphs. I wish this was understood before this change took place.

I would love to know why they removed Blooming Elegant Family... why not renew whatever licensing was had for the font family. Zazzle makes enough money... and that font was WIDELY used. I

@ColorflowMany 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.
