Re: How do I find the font for a specific character in a textItem?

Found some code I had assembled previously:

// get keys for type layer’s style;

// based on code by michael l hale;

// 2014, use it at your own risk;

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

if (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

var textDesc = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));

var paragraphStyle = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('paragraphStyleRange'));

var kernRange = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('kerningRange'));

var rangeList = textDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('textStyleRange'));

var theFonts = new Array;

for (var m = 0; m < rangeList.count; m++) {

var styleDesc = rangeList.getObjectValue(m).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textStyle'));

var aFont = styleDesc.getString(stringIDToTypeID('fontPostScriptName'));

// check if font is already in array;

var theCheck = true;

for (var n = 0; n < theFonts.length; n++) {

if (theFonts[n] == aFont) {theCheck = false}

};

if (theCheck  == true) {theFonts.push(aFont)}

};

alert (theFonts.join("\n"));

}

};
