O P E N T Y P E FAQ :
For information on how to access the swashes and alternates, visit LauraWorthingtonType.com/faqs All operating systems come equipped with a utility that make it possible to access the swashes and alternates in my fonts. Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (CS versions), Quark Xpress 7.0 (and above), CorelDRAW X6 (and above) have OpenType and Glyph panels, You may download instructional PDFs on my FAQs page for these programs. Microsoft Word 2010 and later versions allow you to access some OpenType features in the application as well.
I recommend trying out Character Map/Viewer or NexusFont first to see how it works for you before purchasing third party software. If you don't like how these utilities work, here are some additional solutions…
There are additional ways to access alternates/swashes if you do not have one of the programs listed above: either by using your operating system’s utility Character Map (Windows), Character Viewer (Mac OS versions prior to 10.9) or through Font Book (Mac OS 10.9 and later), by downloading NexusFont (free, Windows only) or by purchasing a software program such as PopChar or Ultra Character Map.
For both Mac and PC, I also recommend PopChar by Ergonis (especially operating systems prior to 10.8), which is a standalone glyphs panel. It makes it easy to select and copy the swash or alternate letterform you want and paste it into just about any document/program (Photoshop, Word, Publisher, etc.) If you have, or are planning to purchase one of my fonts, contact me with a copy of your receipt for a 30% discount code on PopChar.

For Mac users running OS 10.8 and above, there is Ultra Character Map, which may be downloaded on the App Store for $9.99

Character Guide These expressions are designed with spacing considered: if the greeting
has more than one word, one version has all of the words on one line, while an alternate version has the same words stacked on two or more lines. For your convenience, a folder with transparent GIFs of all expressions have
been included to make it easier to add to your emails and/or publications!

Many of these
expressions were
hand lettered while relaxing by the
pool in Los Cabos, Mexico —my first
vacation in a long
time, made possible by my awesome sister Kristina.
“Greeting Cards”
is dedicated to her.
