Glyph filter helps you to find specific fonts based on the selected glyphs. As the name suggests, a glyph is a graphical symbol, which provides an appearance or form of a character.
Turn on the glyph filtering toggle and enter a string in the type-tester to filter the result set and view only the fonts that support the entered glyph.
Note: If you see tofus in any results after enabling Glyph filtering, check for other styles in the same family. At least one style in the family should support the selected glyphs.
How do I use glyph filter
Log into https://enterprise.monotype.com with valid credentials.
Navigate to Browse > Fonts. The All Font window displays.
Enter the desired glyphs in the type tester on the left-pane and enable the toggle button next to Filter By Glyphs. You will get a list of fonts with the best coverage of the glyphs entered.
Note: The results may get slower, so it is suggested to use this feature solely to filter desired fonts by glyphs.
You can disable the toggle button when you are not using the glyph feature, this will let the type tester work normally.
When can I use glyph filtering
These are the following use cases of glyph filtering:
Quality control – It will help you filter out fonts that do not meet the desired glyph, ensuring consistency throughout the search experience.
Localization and language support – Fonts support a wide range of characters or strings for different languages. The glyph filter enables you to focus more on specific characters required for different languages, which ensures comprehensive language support.
Multilingual support – You can enter multiple glyphs at once, and the type tester will accurately render the most relevant fonts for you.
