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.
