To have the glyphs available for a web font in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select a suitable web font: Choose a web font that includes the specific glyphs you need. Remember that not all web fonts support all glyphs, so make sure you choose one that includes the ones you require.

  2. Upload the web font: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Fonts panel by clicking on the "Typography" tab on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on the "Upload Fonts" button, and select the web font file from your computer to upload it to your Webflow project.

  3. Enable the desired character set: Once the web font is uploaded, click on the gear icon next to the font name in the Fonts panel. In the settings for that font, you can select the appropriate character set to enable. This will make all the available glyphs in that character set accessible.

  4. View and use the glyphs: To view and use the glyphs in the Webflow Designer, you can simply open a text element (such as a paragraph or heading) and select the font you uploaded from the font dropdown menu. Once the font is selected, you can use the glyph panel within the text element to access and insert the desired glyphs. To open the glyph panel, click on the "Insert Special Character" button (usually represented by an omega symbol) on the right side of the text editor toolbar.

By following these steps, you can easily have the glyphs available for a web font in Webflow, allowing you to select and use them within your web design.
