Why can't I get the font with this code in Photoshop 2021, while I can retrieve the font in other ve

alert(app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.font);

When my text layer uses the font: Adobe Heiti Std, I want to retrieve the property as: AdobeHeitiStd-Regular using this code. However, on some systems, it cannot be retrieved and shows that the text property cannot be obtained. The version being used is PS 2021. Do you have any solutions for this?

Is the active layer a text layer?

Yes, I'm sure it is the active text layer

I'm not in front of Photoshop to test, but what do you get with:

font.postscriptName

// or perhaps

font.postScriptName

The result I received is: undefined

What about this?

var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty(charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt'));
var textDesc = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
var fontName = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('textStyleRange')).getObjectValue(0).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textStyle')).getString(stringIDToTypeID('fontPostScriptName'));
alert(fontName);

1. Sorry, the hint is: the requested attribute does not exist.

When I use the font: Adobe Heiti Std, and type text in the image, the code will prompt that it cannot retrieve the text attributes. However, when I use a different font and then switch to Adobe Heiti Std, I can retrieve the text attributes.

Can you provide a sample-file? 

If the result is faulty only on some stations I am not sure the problem can be isolated except on those stations.
