I am trying the suggestions I got through the mailing list. I had actually
searched the Adobe site for relevant info, but didn't come up with
anything useful.
snippet of the code is as follows:
tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
tell text frame 1
set applied paragraph style of every text to "Center" -- paragraph
style used in document
set applied font of every text to ("Aachen-Bold")
set point size of every text to 20
end tell
end tell
end tell
This particular example actually works. The same snippet with
"AGaramond-Semibolditalic" inserted does not. I have tried to set the
applied font using properties of the paragraph in question and I have
tried "paragraph" as well as "text", but no consistent results. Some fonts
work and some don't. My impression is that those fonts with multiple
styles tend not to work. PS, TT or OTF doesn't seem to matter Always
InDesign thinks the font is unavailable.
I am just trying to loop through our font collection and add samples to a
FileMaker database so I can group them in categories and print them (the
export as EPS and import into FileMaker works just fine). There is other
ways to do this. I am just ticked I cannot get this to work, so now I
cannot keave it alone :(
Thanks for the suggestions.
