Subject: Looking for an Applescript programmer
Hi All,
I'm the CEO of a mac-only database and web development company in
Sydney, Australia.
We have a project at the moment for a font and stock art distributor.
We need an applescript written to generate font sample gifs for
20,000 fonts. We would prefer this to be done using applescript and
photoshop, but are open to scripting other applications to accomplish
this.
If you are interested in quoting on this project, please reply by e-mail.
Thanks,
Adam
Adam,
I have professional experience in this type of project, and am
potentially interested I helping you. Several questions:
1. Can you describe the process flow that you intend? Do you want to
systematically generate GIF samples for each and every font/style, or
do you want a specific sample to be generated in response to user
input? is user input taken from a forms page? Is the output to be
served via web pages?
2. What is the time frame you have in mind for implementation?
3. Is the font library dynamic?
4. You may know that Photoshop had limited internal scripting
capabilities until its most recent version, and that this has
complicates its use under AS control. Do you intend to utilize
Photoshop 7? An alternative (and often better) solution is
GraphicConverter (visit
http://lemkesoft.com/us_index.html ), a low
price image format conversion application. I've used GraphicConverter
to produce thousands of GIF images under AS control. WOuld you
consider using GraphicConverter?
5. Do you intend to work under Mac OSX +/or Classic? Will you utilize
a mixed host (*nix, Windows, etc) or purely Macintosh environment
I would be happy to discuss this with you further; please let me know
if you'd like to arrange a telephone conversation.
Thanks,
Bill Christens-Barry
