Tedious process but collecting the glyphs on InDesign not only provides me with the names but also when I start working with each one I know where to locate it... in other words this method will save me a huge amount of time in the long run. I used helvetica given that it has the most glyphs out of all the typefaces on my computer, however again because I've done it in InDesign rather than getting a list of the internet changing the typeface will be a stress free process.
This is the beginning of a much bigger list I will gradually compile of the different glyphs towards my 'Glyphtionary'. The Gid code is what the computer uses to refer it and is the same what ever typeface is used, same goes for the numbers running down the right side of the page. The glyphs are listed in the middle column with the names to the right of each glyph.
