Ármányos Kő Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi, I have to change fonts in an Illustrator object. With the code below I can see nicely each caharacters's TextFont. Name or TextFont.Family But when I try to give new value to it, it fails with this error message> The requested action with this object has failed.: .Name = "ArialMT" .Name = "ArialMT"^ ERROR Why? I thought this will be easy stuff by looking at Help examples. I have collected the TextFont. Name values of all fonts on my computer and ArialMT is one of them. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help, this makes me struggling for days now... Func TextFontlist() $oIll = ObjGet("","Illustrator.Application") $fonts = $oIll.Documents(1).Stories.Count For $i = 1 to $fonts $chars = $oIll.Documents(1).Stories($i).Characters.Count For $z = 1 To $chars $info = $oIll.Documents(1).Stories($i).Characters($z).CharacterAttributes.Textfont.Name $stuff = $oIll.Documents(1).Stories($i).Characters($z).Contents Tooltip($oIll.Documents(1).Stories.Count&@LF&$info&@LF&@LF&$stuff&@LF&" i, z>"&$i&" "&$z) Sleep(250) If $info = "Helvetica" Then With $oIll.Documents(1).Stories($i).Characters($z).CharacterAttributes.Textfont .Name = "ArialMT" EndWith Endif Next Next ToolTip("") EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 A quick search found an Adobe Illustrator Scripting Guide here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer...iptingGuide.pdfThis guide states on page 455 that the TextFont property is Read-Only.Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Ármányos Kő Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks! This is so amezingly stupid of me! (Also, Adobe changed the guide significantly for the CS2 version which I have. They just do not list the R/O column anymore!) Ok, I will have a look. Now comes again some hard reading on the actual problem. Be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
