Superscript text font change using script

Question

Hi EveryoneIs there script to find and change the font of thesuperscript text.

The script will indeed be similar to the one referred to by c.pfaffenbichler

We get a descriptor for the text layer, get an ActionList with a list of styles, loop through all the styles looking for the one in which the 'baseline' key is set to 'superScript'. Then, in this style, change the values of the keys fontName, fontPostScriptName, fontScript, fontStyleName to the required ones (I have never changed the font using a script, so we need to experiment to find out what the minimum set of keys is needed for the font to change correctly - we may have to refer to the list of fonts application to get all the required attributes). After that, collect the descriptor in reverse order and assign it to the text layer.

»fontPostScriptName« and »color« seem to be enough.

// change font of superscript letters;

s2t = stringIDToTypeID;

(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('numberOfLayers'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var len = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p);

for (var i = 0; i <= len; i++) {
    (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('textKey'));
    r.putIndex(s2t('layer'), i);
    var theCheck = false;
    if (executeActionGet(r).hasKey(p)) {
        var textKey = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(p),
            styleList = textKey.getList(s2t('textStyleRange')),
            l = new ActionList(),
            d = new ActionDescriptor(),
            z = false;
        for (var x = 0; x < styleList.count; x++) {
            k = styleList.getObjectValue(x);
            s = k.getObjectValue(s2t('textStyle'));
            theX = s.getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID("baseline"));
            var theNewOne = new ActionDescriptor;

            if (theX == "2477") {
                var theCheck = true;
                var theStyle = k.getObjectValue(s2t('textStyle'));
                theStyle.putString(s2t('fontPostScriptName'), "Helvetica-Bold");               
                var d = new ActionDescriptor();
                d.putDouble(s2t('red'), s.getObjectValue(s2t('color')).getInteger(s2t('red')));
                d.putDouble(s2t('grain'), s.getObjectValue(s2t('color')).getInteger(s2t('grain')));
                d.putDouble(s2t('blue'), s.getObjectValue(s2t('color')).getInteger(s2t('blue')));
                theStyle.putObject(s2t('color'), s2t('RGBColor'), d);
                k.putObject(s2t('textStyle'), s2t('textStyle'), theStyle)
            } else {
            };
////////////////////////////////////
            l.putObject(s2t('textStyleRange'), k)
        }
        if (theCheck == true) {
            textKey.putList(s2t('textStyleRange'), l)
            var d = new ActionDescriptor();
            (r = new ActionReference()).putIndex(s2t('layer'), i);
            d.putReference(s2t('null'), r);
            d.putObject(s2t('to'), s2t('textLayer'), textKey);
            executeAction(s2t('set'), d, DialogModes.NO);
        }
    }
};

Hi @Ragav@july2020 ,I don't see how this can be done easily.Ps has a basic find and replace text function, so some serious scripting will be needed.To add to @c.pfaffenbichler 's links, here some scripting resources from Adobe.ADOBE PHOTOSHOP SCRIPTINGGood luck
