Create PostScript Font Mappings

If you need to get PostScript Font Names in current and previous versions of AE, I can recommend you installing Aeviewer (which is free extension), that has an API to access all available fonts installed in the system. Here is an API on getting system fonts:

https://github.com/axwt/aeviewer-api#get-an-object-with-available-system-fonts

Start here:

https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/other/fontsobject.html#fontsobject-allfonts

This will return all the Fonts which AfterEffects knows about as a new Font Object. With that you can get all sorts of interesting data about the Font itself.

Instead of calling 'textDocument.font' to get the PostScript name, you also now call 'textDocument.fontObject.postScriptName'.

There is a lot of new Font support - go check it out.

This is all in Beta at the moment.
