Hello people,

I am trying to create an arrow which is the same font as my text. Does somebody know how to fix this issue?

Just the same font as the letters, really

'font' means a collection of characters. 'same font' isn't synonymous with 'same style' -- it means something much more specific.

for the arrow, it's just a collection of drawn shapes. i did it very quickly so it's pretty ugly, but then so is Algerian. make your own, make it better!

Hi there,

Use Glyphs panel from type menu with the same font you are using search for the highlighted symbols I attached an image.

Could you please elaborate on what you are trying to do? Are you asking if arrows exist within any actual type fonts? There may be some fonts that have characters that are arrows. You can check the glyphs panel (Window Menu>Type>Glyphs) for whatever font that you are using. If you are asking how to draw an arrow to match a particular font please let us know what font you are talking about. If what you are asking is something different than what I've asked then please state that.

The letter type is Algerian, and I want to use an arrow which is the same font, though can't find any useful arrows (so I am talking about a regular arrow. I want to use it on a shirt which is pointing to another shirt
