Sorry for so many questions in one day.

The company offers 200+ fonts to our customers that they may use in building their InDesign documents. The markup language we use treats each font as a separate mnemonic. For example, if Customer Jane wants to use helvetica, she inserts [HLV] into the code.

I have to find a way to keep track of all these fonts and implement them in the InDesign documents at need.

Putting the code together that would allow me to cross-reference the mnemonic with the actual font name *inside the script* seems to me to be a waste of script. I am looking at the possibility of using a database from FileMaker, but as this is only one small table and I have six manchines to outfit, I would feel uneasy about the $1500.00 ($250.00 * 6 licenses) price tag for one small table.

Is there a freeware database available that is scriptable?

Is there an efficient way to keep a database straight in an InDesign document?

Anyone have a suggestion as to how I might accomplish this task in my script.

Thanks, everyone, for any suggestions you might have.

John
