Help on Quark ligatures and oldstyle numbers


  • Subject: Help on Quark ligatures and oldstyle numbers

I'm new to the list and on it for a very specific purpose, so I apologize if I'm breaking etiquette of some sort. I have attempted a search of list archives — as well as other obvious places — for the answer to my question or some way to fill my need.

Here's what I'm desperately seeking:

A macro or Applescript I can use on any QuarkXPress 6.5 page to search for:

all numbers in the Adobe Caslon typeface and change them to the oldstyle numbers in their corresponding expert font families (regular, semibold and bold);

and certain combinations of letters in the Adobe Caslon typeface (fi, fl, ff, ffl and ffi) and change them to the ligatures (W, X, V, Y and Z) in their corresponding expert font families (regular, semibold and bold).

I don't know Applescript at all, and I've never built a macro. I'm not a programmer and don't have the time to learn. As I say, I've done some unsuccessful searches for third-party sources of such an Applescript/macro but am hoping someone here can direct me better or help me find someone who can create this for me for a nominal fee.

Again, I apologize if I am making this plea incorrectly.

Marc Levy
