List of missing fonts in Photoshop (.psd images)

[Mageshwaran]

Hi All,

I am trying to find the "missing font list" from the *.psd file (Photoshop) using the javascript. Please help me to find the missing font list.

Thanks,
Magesh

I don’t recall a font list in the document properties. 

Which, if I’m not mistaken, would mean having to process the Type Layers – I am not sure if missing fonts can be directly recognized or if one would have to compare a list of all fonts with the list of fonts the application has access to. 

@r-bin , @Kukurykus , @jazz-y , please forgive the intrusion, but you seem to be some of the most active current posters when it comes to Photoshop Scripting – do you have ideas on this issue? (Or recall an existing Script for the task? )

missing fonts in the stylesheet are marked with fontAvailable == false

#target photoshop

var s2t = stringIDToTypeID,
    missingFontList = {};

(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('numberOfLayers'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var len = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p);

for (var i = 1; i <= len; i++) {
    (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('textKey'));
    r.putIndex(s2t('layer'), i);
    if (executeActionGet(r).hasKey(p)) {
        var sList = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(p).getList(s2t('textStyleRange'));
        for (var x = 0; x < sList.count; x++) {
            var k = sList.getObjectValue(x).getObjectValue(s2t('textStyle'))
            if (k.hasKey(s2t('fontAvailable'))) {
                if (!k.getBoolean(s2t('fontAvailable'))) {
                    missingFontList[k.getString(s2t('fontPostScriptName'))] = false
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

alert(missingFontList.toSource())

(I think it makes no sense to check the defaultStyle of the paragraph and the baseStyle of the textStyle)
