How-To Display Proper Unicode text via ExtendScript

Salut!

Petit script en réponse...

// JavaScript Document
// diametre.js
var police1 = "SymbolMT";

var doc = activeDocument;

 var Phi = String.fromCharCode(8709); // Phi = "\u2205";

      alert(Phi+" 1254");

      police1 = getFont(police1);
      var pointText = doc.textFrames.pointText([20,-20]);
          pointText.contents = Phi+" 1254";
          if (police1 != undefined) pointText.textRanges[0].textFont = police1;
// -------
function getFont(nomPolice) {
     try {
       var police = textFonts.getByName(nomPolice);
     }   catch (e) {
        alert( "The specified font doesn’t exist" );
        return undefined;
        }
     return police;
}
// -------

si ensuite vous modifez la police, dans de nombreux cas le symbole ∅ subsiste.

Would it help to use the Unicode character for insertion?

var tf = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
tf.contents = '\u215B" Diameter';
