The fastest way to find a specific string of text is to search for it using the Find (Ctrl + F) and Find Again (F3) commands on the Edit menu.
Using the Find command, you can search the entire font. Or, if you want to narrow the search, you can limit it by clicking one or both check boxes:
Search All Glyphs/Characters searches all glyphs or characters, based on glyph index or character code specified with the Preferences command on the File menu (see “Setting Preferences”).
Case Sensitive specifies text whose uppercase and lowercase glyphs match what you type for Which Text.
Type the text you want to find and, optionally, limit the search.
To look for another occurrence of the text last specified with the Find command, use the Find Next command.
To search for specific text
1. On the Edit menu, select Find, or press Ctrl + F.
2. Type the text you’re looking for.
3. To
search the entire font, click Search All Glyphs/Characters.
If you select Find in the VTT Talk window, the search looks at the VTT Talk of
each glyph. In the Glyph Program window, the search looks at the TrueType of
each glyph. This option isn’t available in other text-based windows because the
font has only one of each (there are only one each of the ‘cvt,’ ‘fpgm,’ and
‘prep’ tables) for all glyphs.
If the text must match the capitalization in the Which Text text box, click
Case Sensitive.
4. Click Find.
To repeat the search
1. On the Edit menu, select Find Next, or press F3.
