John--

Here's an example (note that the font name is probably in the form familyName-tab-styleName, and that the property you want in find attributes is "applied font"):



set myItems to {} 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set find preferences to nothing 
	set myFontName to "Courier" & tab & "Medium" 
	set myFont to font myFontName 
	set myFoundItems to search active document with find attributes {applied font:myFont} 
	repeat with myCounter from 1 to (count myFoundItems) 
		set myItem to item myCounter of myFoundItems 
		if point size of item myCounter of myFoundItems is less than or equal to 9 then 
			copy item myCounter of myFoundItems to end of myItems 
		end if 
	end repeat 
end tell 




Thanks,

Ole
