    As far as I know, this button has no relative property in scripting. However, there's a workaround: you can achieve the same effect by breaking it into three steps.

    Find-replace a font

    1. in all paragraph styles
    2. in all character styles
    3. in locally formatted text

    Here's a script that uses this approach.

    Hope this helps.
