Hi,

I wonder how to get the real name of a font for using in a script.
(sorry for bad english, i am deutsch:-)

In my Fonts folder, there is a file "Eurostib.TTF".
The file discription is "Eurostile Fett (True Type)".
In Photoshop I can select "Eurostile" "Bold".

But in a script I have to use "EurostileBold". This works.

This I discovered by accident. Now I try to use other fontnames
but Photoshop does not understand any name.

app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].layers[j].textItem.font = "HelveticaNarrow"

How does this work?
