That means you may get 20 or more options for how to type “d,” or you may get extra flourishes. With the newest font types, they can add many, many more.

Here’s a trick to help you find it.Create a text box and make sure it’s selected. Go into your Library and do a search there for the name of the font. UGH! Sometimes you have no clue what it’s called and don’t want to scroll through your font list searching for it. So you won’t find the font alphabetically in the list. That’s the name it has in the Library and Silhouette Design Store. One example is Floral Dingbat font by Lebah Studios. Occasionally, the font name has the initials in the list but not in your Library.Hilborn, which is one of my favorites, is called S&S Hilborn in the font list because Spencer is the designer. Lori Whitlock’s fonts typically have LW at the beginning. Sometimes when the designer assigns a name to the font, they put their initials or company name at the beginning.The name isn’t always the same as it is in the Silhouette Design Store or even in your library.

I was getting better, then font designers started having the ability to add multiple glyphs or variations. I freely admit it - I’m a font junkie! I’m trying to do better, but on my last computer I had over 1200 fonts.
