![]() InDesign’s Glyphs panel contains letter/diacritic combinations for most every typeface (including Type 1 and True Type): The first is the one you’re thinking of: the Glyphs panel (Type > Glyphs). There are two ways that InDesign can help one more obvious than the other. Here a cheat sheet for English keyboard Windows users, and here’s one for Mac users. ![]() On both Windows and the Mac OS, the “International English” keyboard setting allows users to invoke the most common diacritics, if you can remember the key combinations. Even if you’re a native speaker of a diacritic-riddled language setting unfamiliar diacritics in other languages can be just as irksome. No English language words require a diacritic mark like tildes or accents (other than common foreign phrases such as à la carte) so inputting them correctly in InDesign is often a trial for English speakers … as it was for me just now, trying to remember how to add that grave accent over the “a” in à la carte.
