P: Add a Glyphs panel

Why, still, is there no glyphs palette/panel/menu in Photoshop? It's pretty sad that I have to use Illustrator or CopyPasteCharacter.com to get the glyphs I need for my raster designs.

I first asked for this over three years ago. Still waiting Adobe...

Adriénne - You can type those characters even on a normal keyboard - those don't need a glyphs palette.

Three years later, and despite numerous pleas for one, we still do not have a Glyphs Panel in Photoshop?

Would the building of a Glyphs Panel really be too difficult, time-consuming or expensive?

I don't understand why the glyph panel is not in there already... seems like a no brainer to me with so many fonts utilizing alternate characters.

I know that as a hard-core font geek, I am too weird for my opinion to count, but I will just say that this has been my #1 feature request for Photoshop for a decade now.

The best workaround is to set your text in Illustrator and paste it in, but that is a major workflow interruption. I mean, I shouldn't have to launch and use Illustrator just to get the glyphs I need.

Please add the glyphs panel to Photoshop... it is seriously necessary especially if one cannot spend the $50/mo for the full suite so that you can have Illustrator or InDesign available to utilize a pro font...

Please listen to your customers...

Dear Photoshop team,

just today again wonderful features were added to PS but I always wondered why a Glyphs Panel has not found its way into PS so far. As working with type is as essential as working with images in Photoshop this feature is badly needed.

The workaround via Illustrator is just not what a fluid workflow should be like.

And I think this would make a lot of people – including myself – really happy.

Thank you!
