Superscript text font change using script

[Ragav@july2020]

Hi Everyone

Is there script to find and change the font of thesuperscript text.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

As Photoshop is not the primary choice for serious typographical work I doubt it. 

Several of the Forum regulars could almost certainly create one fairly easily, though. 

But let me be blunt: Do you just want someone to do your work for you or are you looking for advice? 

There was a thread recently that concerned changing type properties via Script; it was about color, but the code might be helpful nonetheless. 

Change a certain color of texts to a new color

I need help for work to change the font of the superscript.

[Ragav@july2020]

Is this possible to achieve through unicode of superscript from one font to another.

»I need help for work to change the font of the superscript.«

Have you checked out the Script in the thread I linked to? 

Do you have any experience with JavaScript and Photoshop’s AM code?

The script will indeed be similar to the one referred to by c.pfaffenbichler 

We get a descriptor for the text layer, get an ActionList with a list of styles, loop through all the styles looking for the one in which the 'baseline' key is set to 'superScript'. Then, in this style, change the values ​​of the keys fontName, fontPostScriptName, fontScript, fontStyleName to the required ones (I have never changed the font using a script, so we need to experiment to find out what the minimum set of keys is needed for the font to change correctly - we may have to refer to the list of fonts application to get all the required attributes). After that, collect the descriptor in reverse order and assign it to the text layer.

»fontPostScriptName« and »color« seem to be enough.

(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 = 0; i <= len; i++) {
    (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('textKey'));
    r.putIndex(s2t('layer'), i);
    var theCheck = false;
    if (executeActionGet(r).hasKey(p)) {
        var textKey = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(p),
            styleList = textKey.getList(s2t('textStyleRange')),
            l = new ActionList(),
            d = new ActionDescriptor(),
            z = false;
        for (var x = 0; x < styleList.count; x++) {
            k = styleList.getObjectValue(x);
            s = k.getObjectValue(s2t('textStyle'));
            theX = s.getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID("baseline"));
            var theNewOne = new ActionDescriptor;

                k.putObject(s2t('textStyle'), s2t('textStyle'), theStyle)
            } else {

    }

Hi Ragav@july2020 ,

I don't see how this can be done easily.

Ps has a basic find and replace text function, so some serious scripting will be needed.

To add to @c.pfaffenbichler 's links, here some scripting resources from Adobe.

Good luck
