Hi All,

I am trying a script which is in "InDesignCS3_ScriptingGuide_JS" related to font list.

My requirement:

How can we get documents font list in .txt format.

Trying Code is below:

//To display font name (working fine)

var myDocument = app.activeDocument

var myDocumentFontNames = myDocument.fonts.everyItem().getElements();

for(var i = 0; i<myDocumentFontNames.length; i++){

alert(myDocumentFontNames.name);

}

//i think here is doubt


var myFileName = "~/Desktop/Test.txt";

myDocumentFontNames.exportFile(ExportFormat.taggedText, File(myFileName));

Can anyone give solution for me if you willing.

Thanks in advance

Try modifying this script that exports all app.fonts into a .txt file

https://github.com/fabiantheblind/auto-typo-adbe-id/wiki/Fonts

get the raw code here

https://raw.github.com/fabiantheblind/auto-typo-adbe-id/master/fabiantheblind/fontslist.jsx

replace all

app.fonts

with

app.activeDocument.fonts

Cheers

@beginner

Try this,

              

var myDocument = app.activeDocument

var fontList = []

var myDocumentFontNames = myDocument.fonts.everyItem().getElements();

for(var i = 0; i<myDocumentFontNames.length; i++){

fontList.push(myDocumentFontNames.name);

}

fontList = fontList.toString().replace(/,/g,"\n").replace(/\t/g," ")

var myFileName = File("~/Desktop/Test.txt")

myFileName.open("w")

myFileName.write(fontList)

myFileName.close();

Hi Cenchen, fabion and csm_phil,

Thanks a lot. Its working fine.

Could you explain detailed where i highlighted in BOLD.

var myDocument = app.activeDocument

//What it is []

var fontList = []


var myDocumentFontNames = myDocument.fonts.everyItem().getElements();

for(var i = 0; i<myDocumentFontNames.length; i++){

fontList.push(myDocumentFontNames.name);

}

//Please explain this line very particularly

fontList = fontList.toString().replace(/,/g,"\n").replace(/\t/g," ")

var myFileName = File("~/Desktop/Test.txt")

myFileName.open("w")

myFileName.write(fontList)


myFileName.close();
