Using the connected font character symbol
When using a connected font or a script font there are text letters that do not have complete
closure. Once you have typed the text in the specified script font, review the text and determine
which letters need closure. Each open text letter will need a left or right closure, or both. Verify
that you choose the correct connected font character when closing that letter.
To enter connected fonts using character symbol

2 Double click the text to open the Enter/Edit Text dialog box.

buttons. The buttons shown are an example from one of the script
fonts.

Copy, then File > Exit.
