I'm using a small Javascript to insert a Unicode glyph at the text insertion point:
if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "InsertionPoint"){
with (app.selection[0].insertionPoints[0]){ // insertion point
contents = String.fromCharCode(0x20A6);
}
}
This script works, but because the glyph only exists in a few fonts, I need to add something to the script to specify the font used when inserting the glyph. I've tried to specify the insertion point appliedFont, but I can't figure out the syntax.
Any help or suggestions for an alternative approach will be appreciated.
