- [Instructor] An easy way
to give your type more personality
is to take advantage of stylistic alternates
where available, not all fonts will have them.
But for those that do,
you will be able to access these
either through the glyphs panel,
or making sure that you have in your preferences,
type preferences, this option,
show character alternates, turned on.
Now in the example on the left, in red,
I have applied the stylistic alternates.
And if you just take a careful look at that,
you'll see that, for example,
there are three different Ts.
And in the example on the right
where no alternates are used,
all three of those Ts are exactly the same.
Which of course, if you are handwriting this,
they wouldn't be.
So let's come and just apply a few of the alternatives here.
I will select the character.
Available alternates appear
in a row beneath that selection.
In this case, it's just the one.
Select the character and choose your alternate.
Alternatively, select the character,
and from the type menu, come to the glyphs panel.
