It helps if you color the letters and make your comment or text bigger to get a good feel of how it will look when your done. After you pick your first letter I just double click on it and it comes up on my design area, then I can add the next letter that I want if for some reason I don't like that choice you just use the backspace and try a different one. The one nice thing with using this is the zoom slider at the bottom of the panel which helps seeing what you might like to use and another thing I like is some fonts don't offer any glyphs and when that happens you can see it at a glance that there is no fancy options so you can go to the next. Click the G and this will have your fonts in a drop down menu, select the one you want to work with it will then show you all of the letters and or characters. After you open the program you would open the 'text style' panel, then the tabs offer the A for text style, G for your Glyphs or the ABC for spelling. You can access them thru the Silhouette Studio. There is another way to get to the glyph characters. To display a list that includes all available glyphs, click the Show all glyphs button.
