I am using Photoshop 24.0.0. When I use the font Leander Script Pro Bold (a script font), alternate letters show when I rollover the letter, but when I try to choose an alternative, it doesn't change. I opened the file in Photoshop 23.3.2 and it worked just fine.

Thanks. I've asked engineering to take a look.

@Outtacontext 

 

Can you show two screenshots, one from 24.0 and one from 23.3.2 with more than we can see in your tiny sample?

 

Include:

  • text with a character that has an alternate with that character selected (as you have)
  • character panel with panel menu (upper right) open
  • glyphs panel

Also, tell us which screen shot goes with which version.

I'm working with the font Lust Script available via CC. I type the word "Frappe" and it looks terrible because it's defaulting to glyphs that have swirls to the left and they're getting all tangled up together. 🙂  (See the example.)

The font includes a number of alternates for the letters, but when I double-click on one to insert it in place of one of the originals, it keeps the original in place. The odd thing is that this problem isn't consistent; sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. And when it happens, I don't know why or how to fix it.

 

Another tidbit: I can copy and paste the letter I want from another document and it works fine. I just can't get it from the glyphs panel.

 

If anyone knows anything about this and how to solve it, I would be grateful!

Hi Jonlin,

Looks like you are applying some OpenType features to the font. If you clear those features you can get the expected default glyphs.
