I generated the header file and looked at the description and I think that
the issue us that the returned value isn't cast:
@property (copy) id appliedFont; // The font applied to the find glyph
preference, specified as either a font object or the name of font family.
Can return: font, string or nothing.
"id" in Objective-C means refers to an object that isn't typed (could be
anything). That might be the reason why you get an object that isn't cast.
There is a workaround and it's to use the properties hash:
framework 'Foundation'
framework 'ScriptingBridge'
app = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier('com.adobe.indesign')
load_bridge_support_file 'inDesign.bridgesupport'
doc = app.activeDocument
doc.allParagraphStyles.each do |style|
puts style.name
puts style.properties["appliedFont"].name
puts "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
end
In my case it returns the following:
[No Paragraph Style]
Minion Pro Regular
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Basic Paragraph]
Minion Pro Regular
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's probably enough info for you to use ;)

Can you explain a bit more about what you call the standard exports to
work? I *might* be able to help.
I had started writing a very simple parser for the sdef header file, but I
never finished the project nor released my code since nobody seemed to need
it.
It would certainly be nice to have the equivalent of AppleScript Editor's
dictionary viewer but with the MacRuby method names. It shouldn't be hard
to do, but I really don't have much time to work on it at the moment. If
anyone is interested, please let me know, I can assist you.
- Matt
p.s: To generate the bridgesupport file I run the following commands:
$ sdef /Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ CS5.5/Adobe\ InDesign\ CS5.5.app/ |
sdp -fh --basename inDesign
$ gen_bridge_metadata -c '-I.' inDesign.h > inDesign.bridgesupport
