anyone know how to check if a character fontStyle is bold?

Hi Community, Im iterating characters of  a TextFrame to check if font Style is 'bold' , But the problem is  : 
- Fonts dont follow a nomenclature , So Arial bold is named  : 'Arial-BoldMT' ,  And by eg : Calibri bold is named as  'Calibri-BD' or something else
 ------------------------------------------------------------
The structure of fontStyle property is the following : 

• Is there any way to w Check if a font is a bold  or derivate?

Hi,

The following snippet will give all list of fonts available in Illustrator. And style is the property that will tell you whether it is bold or regular or other

var fonts = app.textFonts;
for(var i=0;i<fonts.length;i++)
    $.writeln("Name - " + fonts[i].name + "Style - " + fonts[i].style);

As Charu Rajput said, test for it as such

textFonts[i].style == "Bold"

For example, this should produce a list of your bold fonts:

var list1 = "";
for (var i = 0; i < textFonts.length; i++){
  if (textFonts[i].style == "Bold") {
    list1 = list1 + textFonts[i].name + ",  " 
  }
}
alert ( list1 );
