P: Add a Glyphs panel

Hi Ann,

You're being kind. 😉 OTF Pro Fonts were introduced in 1996.

The Glyph Palette
While OpenType layout features are primarily accessed via the OpenType palette (Illustrator) or the OpenType flyout of the Character palette, Adobe InDesign (all versions) and Adobe Illustrator CS–CS5 also allow you to view and access all of the possible glyphs and layout features in an OpenType font through the Glyph Palette.

The glyphs panel already exists for years on other Adobe programs. Have you became too big and fat to be able to communicate efficiently ? 😛

However, you like to classify it, please just do it

;)

because I know that many people have been asking for a Glyphs panel to be included in Photoshop ever since the OTF Pro Fonts were introduced (which was back in 2006 in the days of CS2 if I recall correctly?).

JDIs are small, simple things that can be done quickly. This request is neither small, nor simple. Just make the request, and let the developers decide what's a JDI.

The OTF Pto fonts, with their numerous alternate characters, make the installation of the Glyphs Panel (as used in InDesign) an essential component in Photoshop as well.

This request really needs to go straight to the top of the JDI list for CS Next.

Dear Adobe,

Please, please, PLEASE... give Photoshop a glyphs palette.
There is no other feature that would be more useful for designers.

Thank you.

"Please add a glyph palette to Photoshop and stop assuming that real typography happens only in vector programs."

It should be there!
If Adobe still committed to producing the best, then perfection is a virtue. Hopefully Adobe to be truly paradise for designers 🙂

Having had started this thread 4 years ago, I have to agree that a Glyph panel in Photoshop would be very handy.

At minimum, Photoshop should duplicate the functionality of the Illustrator Glyphs palette. I understand that they have different code bases, but your whole shtick nowadays is making sure the applications "act exactly the same" no matter the OS, even ignoring the standardaized OS style guides (which is a whole other complaint). Shouldn't it be your goal to make sure workflows between programs also have consistency?
