SWASH CAPS ARE NOW INCLUDED AS THE DEFAULT CAPITALS IN A SEPARATE FONT FILE CALLED "MERMAID SWASH CAPS.TTF"

Other programs (e.g. Adobe Photoshop)
In order to maximize comprehensive accessibility within the TrueType format, the swash caps exist as lesser-used diacriticals. In some programs, it may be necessary to copy and paste these glyphs. Copy the letter that comes after the corresponding letter you want the swash cap for. For instance, if you want the A swash cap, copy Ā. Paste this into the program you are using, with the font set to Mermaid.
