Question

Custom letter formatting: Can I italicize one specific letter across a whole document?

Hello designers,

 

I created a brand guide in which every "O" letter should be italic. Only the "O" letter inside every Title and Subtitle (not the body text).

 

Is there a way to automate it so it changes the font style of a specific letter across a whole document?Something like Font Replacement function but conditioned by the character. So the designer doesn't need to do it manually every time?

 

Thanks✨

The best way to get an answer is to attach a sample file using filesharing that represents what you have.

We are talking about documents that contain a lot of text? Use InDesign. GREP styles are made for this.

Thank you, Monika, that it's a great input for times we do editorial or large projects.

 

Is there something similar in Illustrator? We'll more often work on multiple design documents that are digital-oriented.

Illustrator is not as advanced on find replace and lacks GREP styles. If the body copy font is different, you could edit the font and make the i an i. You can use https://www.glyphrstudio.com/ to make your own custom font.
