Hello,

I'm total confused by the error message generated by this simple code:

Error: "Can't set automatic of appearance preferences to automatic of appearance preferences"

tell application "System Events"
	tell appearance preferences
		set font smoothing style to automatic
	end tell
end tell

If I "get font smoothing style" and look at it, it's a constant "automatic", so I'm not sure why it doesn't work to set it to the constant automatic.

Any ideas?

Well, I get here:

tell application "System Events"
tell appearance preferences
properties
end tell
end tell
--> {font smoothing style:«constant ****ˇˇˇˇ», font smoothing limit:4, recent servers limit:10, class:appearance preferences object, recent documents limit:10, recent applications limit:10, smooth scrolling:false, scroll arrow placement:together, highlight color: {46516, 54741, 65535}, font smoothing:true, scroll bar action:jump to next page, double click minimizes:false, appearance:blue}


Looks like there's one small problem. ;-)

Setting the font smoothing style to automatic raises an error here too.
But it can be set to either light, medium, standard or strong without raising an error; now, all those values result in that same «constant ****ˇˇˇˇ» value...


BTW, I'm unable to find where that parameter could be set from the GUI, or the defaults (preferences) domain it could be stored in. Does somebody know?

Axel
