the Glyphs palette. For information on inserting alternate glyphs and highlighting substi-

InDesign includes fonts from the following OpenType families: Adobe Garamond Pro,
Adobe Caslon Pro, and Caflisch Script Pro. These fonts are located in the Adobe
OpenType Fonts folder in the Goodies folder on the InDesign Application CD. For infor-
mation on installing these fonts, see the OpenType User Guide.PDF file in the OpenType
User Guides folder.
When you use an OpenType font for your text, you can select the following OpenType

features they offer. Square brackets [ ] indicate a feature not supported by the currently
selected font.
