Hello, does anyone know how to Globally convert a text character to a glyph in InDesign? I know how to replace a text with a glyph but I am looking to replace all in a document. The helvetica font I am using uses straight quotation marks but I am looking to convert the straight quotes with curved quotes. In Find/Replace it gives an option for this but it changes the font. I am looking to only replace the character with a glyph globally.

    It changes the font in what sense? The font you are using of what flavour is it? (TTF, OTF, ...)

     

    Please tell us more about your operating system and version, the software and version.
