Yes, it is that simple. To find a particular font "Dingbats", just supply the name:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Dingbats";
If you need to discern different styles of a same font, append the style name after the font name, with a tab inbetween:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Dingbats\tRoman";
and
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Dingbats\tItalic"; // (ugh!)
(the "\t" is a tab character in a JavaScript string).
Be sure to reset findTextPreferences to zero just before these lines, to avoid contaminating the "find" dialog with previously set parameters. That's what the lines
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
do at the start of each of my change loops -- they reset the Find dialog to entirely empty.
