Font Names

[varDale_undefined]

Hi,

Does anyone have a link to where I can see all the alias's for all fonts in the artLayers.textItem.font argument?

For example, "Arial" is "ArialMT".

Kind Regards,

Dale

Create a text layer and run this script to show what it's name is:

#target photoshop
var doc = activeDocument;
alert(doc.activeLayer.textItem.font);

I don't think there is a master source to see all the fonts.

What font are available depends on what fonts are installed on a machine.  You can get a Font List from Photoshop.

You can see how I got the list for my scripts dialog pull-down list. Xtools has a FontList script.

It is posible for a text layer in a document to have a font that is not installed on the current machine. Also a text layer can have more than a single font in it.

Cheers JJ, I actually had xtools installed, so a bit embarrassing I hadn't seen that one!

If it helps anyone, I made the log slightly more readable by changing the below code:

    fi.name       = names.getString(i) ;
    fi.postscript = psnames.getString(i);
    fi.family     = families.getString(i);
    fi.style      = styles.getString(i);

To:

    fi.name       = names.getString(i) ;
    fi.postscript = " = " + psnames.getString(i);
  //  fi.family     = families.getString(i);
  //  fi.style      = styles.getString(i);

I don't need the family or style values, so if you need these you can modify as I have for the postscript info.
