P: Add a Glyphs panel

[Garconis]

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 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.

[AnnShelbourne]

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?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Only because Mom shopped the bargain bins and made us wear em until they fell apart.

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

[SkipMartin3156]

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

[SkipMartin3156]

Just having a way to access all the alternate glyphs. - no matter how basic - would be worlds better than what we have now. Ideally, one just like InDesign would be great - where highlighted glyphs in a text window bring alternates to the top.

this feature is essential, not the video editing feature.

I'd LOVE to have a Glyphs panel in Photoshop!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I strongly support this feature to be added.
As a Web/UX Designer, I always use icon fonts in my designs, so what I do right now is:

1. Go to Adobe Illustrator
2. Open the Glyphs Panel
3. Select the Type Tool
4. Copy my icon
5. Paste it in Photoshop

Why do I need to go through all this steps, when if we were to have that panel, all this would be happening with one click.

How hard it is to add a simple glyph panel to photoshop since you already have it as a feature on illustrator and inDesign?

This request has been made 3 years ago:

... and still it is under consideration?

Guys and girls, this is not going to happen anytime soon. It hasn't been implemented after 3 years of requests, we're basically flogging a dead horse.

I've had to keep Illustrator open and bring in dingbats from that program using the Glyphs panel there. It's a major PITA and its seems silly to open up another program just to use that functionality, but what can you do about it? Posting here doesn't do jack apparently.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Posting here and adding your vote helps inform product management about what is desired. But the type team has a lot of other issues and features on their plate that rank ahead of a glyphs panel.
Just because your favorite feature doesn't happen instantly doesn't mean that it isn't already in progress and might appear in a later version.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It's not just my favourite feature, it's got 94 other backers as well.

[Flemming Krøll]

There are So MANY END USER comment's on this issue. No comments or status updates from the Adobe Team. As a user it looks like we are being ignored !

Adobe Team - Please post the RANK of this issue - What do you have as a priority above this?

This should be a JDI as Adobe already have the technology in Illustrator - Right?

[Garconis]

It's good to know that Adobe defines "instantly" as 3 years.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Chris, just to add to your earlier comment, this idea has been listed as "Under Consideration" for three whole years. I'm not ranting about this topic for any good reason - we've been led to think that this feature would emerge for a fair while but it looks like it gets continually sidelined. Is that our fault or Adobe's?

[Flemming Krøll]

It looks as if this question has been forgotten and has sputtered out in a very black hole ....

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It is still under consideration - but, again, the text team has bigger problems to address.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

We marked the feature as under consideration. That hasn't changed. But you don't get every feature instantly.

No, we cannot provide any sort of ranking.

No, the code from Illustrator would do no good in Photoshop. Different UI systems, different text engines, etc.

No, a JDI is a feature that can be done quickly, tested quickly, and is an obvious improvement. This cannot be done quickly, cannot be tested quickly, and is a minor improvement compared to all the other things that the text team needs to do.

You have made your request, we have listened. But it takes time to address the tens of thousands of requests that we receive from millions of users.

[Max Luczynski]

"You don't get every feature instantly" ?!? You really found it necessary to point that out after we've been asking for it
T H R E E Y E A R S I N A R O W ?
"Not instantly" – oh, You don't say?
Up until now I was only mildly annoyed.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I appreciate that, and thank you for responding quickly.

It's just that this seems to be a missing feature that is causing 95 vocal users (and who knows how many non-vocal users) pain on a daily basis - designers who use PS need decent access to text controls that are on a par with FW, AI or ID. That includes many things like a proper Glyphs panel to take advantage of symbol and dingbat fonts, and a properly functioning styles palette, which we've talked about in another thread.

In the era of web fonts like Font Awesome, it is vitally important that PS has some way of making use of symbol fonts properly to help web designers who are a large segment of users for your product.

I guess there's just a bit of angst rising again over this as we had hoped that perhaps CC 2014 might have contained these upgrades, particularly as the idea was under consideration for three years well before CS6 even launched.

You're onto it anyhow so I won't hassle you further.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Again, we can't deliver all the requested features instantly. And for every feature you want, there are thousands of other requests from more users. We have to balance all the requests (and all the necessities) across all users.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

I guess members of the Photoshop team acknowledging feature requests and bug reports is already comparatively impressive.

Every time Chris Cox uses the word "instantly" to reference a time period of 3+ years, he really illustrates the lack of communication going on here. Then, by deleting posts similar to this one for "failure to read", he manages to be simultaneously condescending and ironic.
