How to get text (word) for a unwanted font in Photoshop Script

[New Beginner1]

Hi,

I'm working with scripts that get unwanted font text in PSDs. In some cases, there are text items with more than one font, so how to get a specific word?

My Expect Output:  unwanted font: "Font Name"   text: "tempor"

How do you determine which font is "unwanted"? There is not a way in the DOM to do this, you'd need Action Manager code.

var theFrom = thisOne.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('from'));
var theTo = thisOne.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('to'));
theFonts.push([aFont, theFrom, theTo]);
};
alert ("\n"+theFonts.join("\n"));
};

Super, thank you

But I need any one font text.

Please provide the script for the "KoHo-Regular" font match text (content)

Scripts aren't "provided" unless indicated. They are written by our volunteer scripters.

So modify the Script. 

You can check for the specific font-name with an if-clause within the for-clause (edited) and use the »from« and »to«-values to determine the affected letters.

if (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {
var theFont = "Arial Black";
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); 
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var textDesc = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
var theText = textDesc.getString(stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
var paragraphStyle = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('paragraphStyleRange'));
var kernRange = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('kerningRange'));
var rangeList = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('textStyleRange'));

var aFont = thisOne.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textStyle')).getString(stringIDToTypeID('fontPostScriptName'));
var aFontName = thisOne.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textStyle')).getString(stringIDToTypeID('fontName'));
var theFrom = thisOne.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('from'));
var theTo = thisOne.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('to'));
if (aFontName == theFont) {theFonts.push([aFontName, theText.slice(theFrom, theTo), theFrom, theTo]);}
};
alert ("\n"+theFonts.join("\n"));
};
};

This is a useful script.

Thank you So much.

I am not ruling out that someone else may provide a better Script but if this one does what you need please mark the post as »Correct Answer«.

You could modify this to get a list of all the fonts in a text layer.

The first Script I posted does this.
