I need some way to use AppleScript or other to gather data about
fonts.
Specifically: Font PSName, type(PS,Ttetc), foundry, version, class.
(IDEALLY without opening the fonts and
and DEFINETLY without installing in the systems Fonts folders)
I used to be able to do this Jon'sCommands or script FontReserve to do
this...
With the impending death FontReserve (Extensis bought and ignores),
and lack
of fontInfo command in Jon's commands, I'm (HORROR of HORROR) stuck
gathering this info for my database.
Anyone know of an osax, hidden command or other that can do this?
No need for hidden stuff - use Tiger's Font Book:
tell application "Font Book"
set a to font families
set b to typefaces of item 1 of a
set c to properties of item 1 of b
set d to typeface additional info of c
end tell
