Hey Mitchell,

You mean it doesn't work.

-------------------------------------------------

# This doesn't work either:

set pfVar to "/System/Library/Fonts/" & "Menlo.ttc"

tell application "Finder" to get alias POSIX file pfVar

-------------------------------------------------

# Works:

set myAlias to alias POSIX file pfVar

-------------------------------------------------

Rule of the thumb – DON'T fiddle with posix paths and posix files in the Finder.

You will get burned at some point.

Take Care,

Chris
