Keyboard Icons (Mac)

May 24, 2012 1:08 PM

I am looking for the best way to add keyboard icons / symbols to an InDesign document. The symbols I am looking for are the typical keyboard shortcut commands for a Mac such as Option/Command/Shift, etc. I have found them in the Glyphs panel. Is this the best way to insert them into a document?

 

Thank you.

 

Dave

    Find a font that has them.

    Insert your cursor in text frame where you would like to add glyph, double click on desired glyph. The font Lucida Grande contains the apple icon and command icon.

    Thanks for the help guys. I ended up creating a custom Glyph set and putting them in there. I appreciate the lead on which font set they could be found in.
