🤓CRICUT FONT HELP!! HOW TO USE THE CHARACTER MAP IN CRICUT DESIGN SPACE
Hello Cricuters,
Let me show you how to use the CHARACTER MAP IN CRICUT DESIGN SPACE. I am using a computer that is operating Windows 11. I am not familiar with how to use a Mac operating system; but this process should be quite similar.
You will need to download an app called CHARACTER MAP UWP.
The font that I used in this tutorial is called Joseph Sophia and I downloaded it from dafont.com.

I am also having the same problem. I have used the character map prior to the Cricut update. Since the update there is no longer a box that pops up above the existing written text. Now I can only highlight within the original text box but after ctrl + v it only repeat the existing letter. It does not replace but adds the same letter. In your tutorial you are showing us how to use the character map prior to the update. Can you show us how to use the character map post the Cricut updated version?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes, I noticed that recently too. What I have found is that when you use ctrl + v now, the pasted letter is actually grouped with the letter. Go to the letter that you are adding a glyph to and ungroup it in the layers panel and you will see the pasted glyph. I hope this helps.

[@yumii28]

Newbie Question: I'm using glyphs or PUA encoded fonts but it's not showing up on cricket design space when I paste the character. All the tutorials I've watched seems to be on the older version of design space where you have a text box to type in the words and the font will show up next to it. The version i have doesnt have the small text box but instead you type directly into the text area which will show the font. When i paste the character, the glyph will show up as a box. Does anyone know to how to fix this?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there, usually when that happens it's because you are trying to use 2 different fonts at one time. The glyphs work with the specific font being selected in Design space.

[@sandrapena573]

How do you add accent marks to letters in Cricut Design Space? Every tutorial shows how to add glyphs not accent marks on letters, such as Peña.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You have to use a font that has accent choices. For example, if you were using Times New Roman, you would select the e that has an accent instead of the regular one. That is still found in the character map.
