CS2- How to get the fonts used in a document ?

Question

Hi,

Can anyone tell how to find the the fonts used in the document directly without iterating through the text art used in the document.BCOZ if i iterate through each text frame or character my plugin works very slowly.I want to speed up the process of finding & replacing the fonts like wat we do manually in the "Type-> Find Font" menu thru my code.

Please post ur comments on this .If there is no direct option to find &replace the fonts used in the document ,pls let me know the simplest logic of finding & replacing all occurances of a font in a doc so that my process of doing this should be faster.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there's no way to get a list of fonts in use in a document without iterating over the document and compiling a list by asking every piece of art.

If you want to trigger 'Type > Find Font' there might be a way to invoke that using Actions (AIActionManager.h). I'm not sure if that would help or not though.

This probably isn't very helpful depending on what you're doing, but I think this is meant to be handled by using character styles. That way you can change a style and update any related text instantly. Not much help though if you're just trying to write a S&R font plugin.
