I am trying to use Bootstrap's Glyphicons (FontAwesome) in Photoshop. I've installed the font, but how to I actually type the icon characters?
I found this page where I can copy/paste the icons listed:
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/
However, I don't see the glyphicon-stats
listed on that page and I'd like to use it... It's listed on:
http://getbootstrap.com/components/
Thanks
You use the Glyphs panel to insert punctuation, superscript & subscript characters, currency symbols, numbers, specialized characters, as well as glyphs from other languages into text in Photoshop. To access the panel, select Type > Panels > Glyphs panel or Window > Glyphs.
Hold down Alt and key in 0178 and let go of Alt. A superscript 2 will appear. Incidentally, if you needed 'cubed' instead of 'squared' then type 0179 and you'll get a superscript 3.
The Font Awesome Icons are now ready at your Photoshop as font types. Before you will be able to use an icon in your new or existing Photoshop document you need to find the icon name. Go to the “Font Awesome Free's Cheatsheet“.
Insert a glyph from a specified font Using the Type tool, click to place the insertion point where you want to enter a character. Choose Type > Glyphs to display the Glyphs panel. To display a different set of characters in the Glyphs panel, do any of the following: Select a different font and type style, if available.
With the help of Ravimallya's comment, I was able to find the characters in the Character Map starting at Unicode F000.
F000
in "Go to Unicode :"It's actually pretty simple.
1) Head over to http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
2) Just copy/paste the character into Photoshop (as a Text layer).
3) Make sure to set the Font to FontAwesome for that layer, and your icon will look perfect in Photoshop.
