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?

You need the postscript name of the font.




 
#target photoshop 

var Dlog = 

"dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,500,270],"+ 

"FontName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,40,370,60]},"+ 

"PostScriptName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,100,370,120]},"+ 

"statictext0:StaticText{bounds:[40,10,200,30] , text:'Font Name'},"+ 

"statictext1:StaticText{bounds:[40,70,141,87] , text:'Postscript Name'},"+ 

"button0:Button{bounds:[140,130,240,150] , text:'Ok' }}"; 

win = new Window(Dlog,"Use the Postscript Name in your script."); 

var item; 

var item2; 

for (var i=0,len=app.fonts.length;i<len;i++) { 

    item = win.FontName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].name); 

    item2 = win.PostScriptName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].postScriptName);     

}; 

win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[0] ; 

win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[0] ; 

 

win.FontName.onChange = function() {  

   win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ; 

   $.writeln(win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)]); 

}; 

  

win.PostScriptName.onChange = function() {  

   win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ; 

};  

win.center(); 

win.show();
