Question

A long time ago I had a tab open that explained how to find a font that contained a specific glyph, but it’s been lost to too many updates. Who knows how to use InDesign to find a font that has a specific (semi-obscure, an asterism) glyph?

    Are you looking for the Glyph panel in InDesign? You can access that from the Type Menu>Glyphs

    Does the glyph panel show you which fonts contain a specific glyph?

    Yes, see the screenshot. It is showing the glyphs in Minion Pro font. You can change the font you want to see by using the drop downs at the bottom
