How to select all, copy, paste "Repetoire" typeface from font book?

I'm on OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra) and FontBook 7.0


How do you select all, copy and paste all characters from the "View > Repetoire" of a typeface in Font Book? I'm a designer, trying to copy the icons from a Material-Icons (Google Design) typeface I have installed. I can see all the samples under Repetoire. I want to paste them into Sketch so I can create a symbol library. But under Edit the options for Select All are greyed out. I can't seem to click-select multiple characters either.

However, under 'View > Sample' I can 'Edit > Select All', or click-drag the characters, and copy/paste them into Sketch and they show as expected. However, 'Sample' is a subset of the library.


Under 'Repetoire' I can only select 1 character at a time.

I've also tried printing the Repetoire as a PDF (File > Print > Save as PDF), selecting the characters from the PDF and pasting into Sketch, but they show up as Monaco, and the unicode codes for the glyphs aren't preserved.


Is there a way to select all characters, or at least more than 1 at a time, in the "Repetoire" view of FontBook to copy/paste them into another program?

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Here is the list from the link converted to utf-8. A text editor/word processor should show the icons if the proper font is installed and selected. Because they are in the Unicode Private Use area, some apps may not display them.

Thanks Tom!


Where'd you get the original list of unicode? From the raw of material-design-icons/codepoints at master · google/material-design-icons · GitHub ?


I'm trying to copy/paste from your last post into an editor, and change the type to Material Design with no luck.


From what I see in your post:

When I copy/paste into text editor (or in this case Sketch) and change typeface to Material Design:

Some of the icons are indeed changed, but doesn't seem to match up correctly.

Unfortunately not. The Google Material design guide on https://material.io/icons/ has PNG or SVG download, and instructions on using the icons in HTML.


Going deeper, at https://material.io/guidelines/style/icons.html#icons-system-icons there's great info on correct usage of the icons, and creating more icons following the style guide, but still no copy and paste characters.


Neither has a unicode system font lookup table, or copy paste of the Repetoire of icons that I can find.

How did you get the Unicode for all the icons for future reference?


Starting with the github list of names and hex codes, I used find/replace in TextWrangler to add &#x to the front, and ; at the end, of each hex code. Then I used a service from UnicodeChecker which converts html character references to utf-8. There are probably easier ways....

How to select all, copy, paste "Repetoire" typeface from font book?
