I would like to script some find/change routines within InDesign 2.0.2 on unicode characters mapped from x0000 to x0373 (the range that contains most Latin based glyphs and accents). It should then be fairly easy to apply a character style (to change to a different typeface) to this text. Anyone have experience or even know if this scenario is possible? Thank you in advance. jh Explanation follows: If anyone is interested, the Japanese version of the application has very good functionality with composite fonts. An example of this is when most of the text would be in a Japanese script, but where Latin based characters exist, the application is smart enough to point to a different typeface, rather than use the rudimentary Latin glyphs included in the Japanese typeface. Similar functionality in the English version of the program would be great (because I can actually read the menus there), but does not seem possible.
