FindChangeList.txt--Change font style

-

indesign cs3

 

here's problem:

 

i have 2 basic paragraph styles:

 

body text--minion pro regular

 

margin text--formata light

 

i format word file paragraph style used (body text--minion pro regular). proceed change base style other styles used in document (headlines, subheads, ...). problem when change paragraph styles--body text margin text--the conversion doesn't use fonts use in margins.

 

wrong results

minion pro regular--formata regular

minion pro italic--formata italic

minion pro bold--formata bold

 

right results

minion pro regular--formata light

minion pro italic--formata light italic

minion pro bold--formata medium

 

the fonts use in margin of our book lighter-weight font our main text font. indesign change:

 

regular light--this change works since light defining style

italic light italic

bold medium

 

i know nothing--very little--about applescipts. i'm trying alter supporting findchangelist.txt file.

 

here's removed end of file:

 

grep    {find what:"  +"}    {change to:" "}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find double spaces , replace single spaces.
grep    {find what:"\r "}    {change to:"\r"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find returns followed space , replace single returns.
grep    {find what:" \r"}    {change to:"\r"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find returns followed space , replace single returns.
grep    {find what:"\t\t+"}    {change to:"\t"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find double tab characters , replace single tab characters.
grep    {find what:"\r\t"}    {change to:"\r"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find returns followed tab character , replace single returns.
grep    {find what:"\t\r"}    {change to:"\r"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find returns followed tab character , replace single returns.
grep    {find what:"\r\r+"}    {change to:"\r"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find double returns , replace single returns.
text    {find what:" - "}    {change to:"^="}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find space-dash-space , replace en dash.
text    {find what:"--"}    {change to:"^_"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    find dash-dash , replace em dash.

 

 

 

here's replacement:

 

text    {find what:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"italic"}    {change to:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"light italic"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    change formata italic formata light italic.
text    {find what:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"bold"}    {change to:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"medium"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    change formata bold formata medium.
text    {find what:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"regular"}    {change to:"", applied font:"formata", font style:"light"}    {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}    change formata regular formata light.

 

this not total failure. italic changed light italic stops. doesn't make other 2 changes.

 

any in making things totally work appreciated. thanks.

hi there,

 

not sure if help, found these 2 'change font' scripts, might able edit fit needs:

 

1. change fonts throughout document:

 

#target indesign;

app.findtextpreferences = app.changetextpreferences = null;
app.findchangetextoptions.includefootnotes = true;
app.findchangetextoptions.includehiddenlayers = true;
app.findchangetextoptions.includemasterpages = true;
app.findtextpreferences.appliedfont = "gill alt 1 mt\tregular";
app.changetextpreferences.appliedfont = "arial\tregular";
app.documents[0].changetext();

app.findtextpreferences.appliedfont = "gill alt 1 mt\tbold";
app.changetextpreferences.appliedfont = "arial\tbold";
app.documents[0].changetext();

app.findtextpreferences.appliedfont = "gill alt 1 mt\titalic";
app.changetextpreferences.appliedfont = "arial\titalic";
app.documents[0].changetext();

 

2. change fonts in paragraph styles:

 

for (var i=2; i<app.activedocument.paragraphstyles.length; i++)
{

  if (app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont.fullname == "gill alt 1 mt")

    app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont = "arial\tregular";

  if (app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont.fullname == "gill alt 1 mt italic")

    app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont = "arial\titalic";

  if (app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont.fullname == "gill alt 1 mt bold")

    app.activedocument.paragraphstyles[i].appliedfont = "arial\tbold";

}

 

hope helps,

 

peace!
