Hi I have a script which gathers info from an active document and fills out a form for output. Part of it gathers font info: copy "" to docFonts tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" activate tell active document set fontName to name of every font of document 1 as list set fontType to type of every font of document 1 as list repeat with i from 1 to count of items in fontName copy item i of fontName to theFont copy item i of fontType to thetype repeat with i from 1 to count of items in fontType end repeat copy docFonts & theFont & tab & thetype & tab & "yes" & return to docFonts end repeat copy docFonts to x end tell end tell When I run the script from Script Editor I get what I want: Eboy EXTGamma type 1 yes ITC Officina Sans Bold type 1 yes ITC Officina Sans Book type 1 yes Times Regular TrueType yes If I run it any other way-- as an app or from Quickeys or the script menu, the font type is returned incorrectly: Eboy EXTGamma ?constant ****ftT1? yes ITC Officina Sans Bold ?constant ****ftT1? yes ITC Officina Sans Book ?constant ****ftT1? yes Times Regular ?constant ****ftTT? yes Anyway to fix this? I'm running OS 10.2.1 Thanks Rob
