Ethan, nothing has been obvious to me for years. Thanks for the push
Shane.
I don't know if Quark changed the naming convention so much as they
picked one of a million ways to do it.
AmericanTypewriter.dfont is /Library/Fonts.
There is no font software running.
Using these names of the same font:
AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight
American Typewriter Condensed Light
Talking to the following apps:
QuarkXPress6.0 AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight ERROR
QuarkXPress6.0 American Typewriter Condensed Light WORKS
MS Word X AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight DOES NOT EXIST
MS Word X American Typewriter Condensed Light DOES NOT EXIST
TextEdit1.3v202 AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight WORKS
TextEdit1.3v202 American Typewriter Condensed Light WORKS
Illustrator10.0.3 AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight WORKS
Illustrator10.0.3 American Typewriter Condensed Light ERROR
Appleworks6.2.7 AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight TURNS TO GENEVA
Appleworks6.2.7 American Typewriter Condensed Light WORKS
InDesign2.0.2 AmericanTypewriter-CondensedLight ERROR
InDesign2.0.2 American Typewriter Condensed Light ERROR
I have no experience scripting ID, but I was able to set the applied
font to American Typewriter but couldn't quickly set the style to
Condensed Light.
So I don't know what I proved here.
Was this behavior in Jaguar?
Have I gone off my rocker?
Will these different technigues come together in the future?
Should we do our layouts in TextEdit?
