Okay, this is gotta be a bug.
Yup. FileMaker developers have seen this kind of thing before.
If I replace "file type" with "+class asty;" and then compile, it
works correctly-- Xcode shows "file type"!
If I then try to save the script, or compile again (without making
any changes whatsoever), "file type" changes, once again, to "file
kind".
What happens if you wrap it in a tell block to some other app?
Try this:
on process_fonts_(fonts_)
set total_count_ to count of fonts_
repeat with i from 1 to the total_count_
set font_ to (item i of fonts_)
tell app "SystemUIServer" --or "System Events" or something Chris likes
set font_info_ to info for font_
if ((alias of font_info_ is false) and (file type of
font_info_ is "FFIL") and (file creator of font_info_ is "DMOV")) then
set POSIX_font_path_ to POSIX path of font_ as string
set sh_grep_sfnt_ to "grep -c sfnt \"" & POSIX_font_path_
& "/..namedfork/rsrc\""
-- and more.....
end if
end tell
end repeat
end process_fonts_
Stupid problems sometimes beget stupid workarounds...
