Abstract
Systems and methods provide for replacing a glyph in text displayed by an application with an alternate glyph. A glyph is selected, and the character and font of the glyph are identified. Alternate glyphs for the character in the font are then determined, and a visual indicator is displayed proximate to the glyph in the text to indicate availability of the alternate glyphs. In response to a user action associated with the glyph and/or visual indicator, the alternate glyphs are presented. A user can then select one of the alternate glyphs, and the original glyph in the text is replaced with the selected alternate glyph.
