I am looking for fonts that contain the Old English character yogh for a private project. I have so far found it in Minion Pro and Garamond Premier Pro (and Times New Roman, but we won't mention that). Can anyone tell me if there is a quick and easy way of identifying fonts that contain a specific glyph like this. At present I'm opening every single font on my system and searching for it, but it's taking for ever.

If it's relevant, I'm on Windows Vista.

Many thanks for you help,

John

I'd start by looking only at OpenType fonts (you may find it on a specialised Type 1 or TrueType font, but if you did the font would probably have something in its name to show that it wasn't a standard character set). Adobe's "Pro" fonts are the ones with extended language support, so I imagine that non-Pro Adobe fonts won't be much help. I don't know how other foundries designate their extended language fonts, but they probably have a similar naming system.

I agree with Dominic that first place to look would be Adobe's OT Pro fonts.

Thanks for the advice. I narrowed the choice down to OpenType Pro, copied upper- and lower-case yogh into the sample text in Suitcase and just cycled through my fonts. Worked a treat.
