You may know that Adobe InDesign, by Adobe Systems, is the standard page layout software in the graphic design world, and it has very powerful typography tools. But, did you know that you can convert your type to vector outlines that can be edited with the drawing tools? The Glyphs Panel lets you see every variation of every typographic character for every font loaded in your desktop publishing system. In this tutorial, I'll demo how to use it to find the Heart glyph in Zaph Dingbats, and convert it to vector paths. You'll then use it to make a quick Valentine's Day greeting card that you can print out and give to a special person. It's a fast and easy gift to show someone some love, and learn a fun new computer graphics rick.
Corrections: The document should be set up in landscape orientation, as shown; in the Glyphs Panel, the font is entered in the lower left.
