What I really want is the name of the printer font used of a string
that you can
find in the Usage dialog box of Quark 6.5. For instance, I can get
the screen
font name of "B Times Bold" or Times styled Bold. But I really want
the actual
printer font used: "TimesBol" That would solve a big problem for me.
But it appears I cannot get that info, though I clearly see it in the
expanded
portion of the dialog box.
So, being an ignorant fool, I'm hoping I can use a Quark font <ID> to
find the
same font <ID> in Suitcase X1, which also happily names the correct
Printer
font.
So examples of Suitcase X1 Applescript examples appear to be rare.
Looking at
the dictionary I get this to work.
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
get name of Font 1 of Font Set 2
end tell
How Suitcase references files is not clear and by perserverance I
find this
reference works. Expanding it breaks for me.
In the Class Font File: I see this should work
get location of Font File 1 of Font Set 2
but AS cannot get this info.
So clearly I'm not understanding how Suitcase "thinks" and am looking
for help
that points me into understanding it.
But what I really want is to get the printer font name used in Quark.
Is there something else I can try? thanx, sam
