adobe font folio 11 type reference guide pdf

Looking through the Type Reference Guide.pdf (or the printed 3rd edition reference library) is frustrating. Maybe the more general question is whether there is mapping of 'What font should I look in to find somewhat similar-looking glyphs when Adobe fonts are missing glyphs'? Is there a recommended Adobe font that has these glyphs that is appropriate to substitute for Utopia? For Univers? So then I installed Adobe's Times New Roman MT Std and Times LT Std families, but they don't have the glyphs either. Today I realized that that's not Adobe's Times New Roman (kind of a rude awakening), it's actually Monotype:Times New Roman Regular:Version 3.05 (Microsoft). For text in Utopia, when hunting for these glyphs, I had usually been in the habit of finding the glyphs in Times New Roman, and not worrying about it. Our house style currently uses Adobe's Utopia Std and Univers LT Std.

Viewed or downloaded from the Adobe web site at but I can't seem to find an easy way to get to them (I guess the Flash interface sort of works? Is there a better one?). Is there some tool for searching for these glyphs within Adobe's fonts? The Type Reference Guide says 'Complete glyph complement pdfs can be Those seem to be…much more difficult to find? (I would have thought the opposite.)

So I guess that means the macron characters are mostly available in the 24 Pro faces: Adobe Caslon Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro, Adobe Jenson Pro, Arno Pro, Bickham Script Pro, Brioso Pro, Caflisch Script Pro, Calcite Pro, Chaparral Pro, Cronos Pro, Ex Ponto Pro, Garamond Premier Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Sanvito Pro, Sava Pro, Silentium Pro, Tekton Pro, Trajan Pro, Voluta Script Pro, Warnock Pro, Waters Titling Pro, Web Type Pro, Miguel clarified a while ago that the macron characters were 'only supported in font families with the suffix Pro, such as Minion Pro.' I had missed it when he said it, or I guess internalized it wrongly. Most of my thinking is in the context of machines running Mac OS X with Font Folio 11 installed/available, if that's pertinent. Today I became aware that I was mostly wrong, and would appreciate it if someone could explain what the situation really is I was surprised to learn how wrong I was. I had been under the impression that most modern Adobe OpenType fonts had support for glyphs like α (U+03B1, GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA) and ā (U+0101, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON), and that the few cases I had found were mostly outliers.
