Is there for Rev to determine which system fonts are of fixed width?
If not directly, then indirectly? Comparing widths of "i" and "w" on
a font by font basis? How might this work?
Tried your idea using the following: Created two 18pt text fields,
put "W"
into fld 1, "I" into field 2, ran the following function:
return (formattedWidth of fld 1 = formattedWidth of fld 2)
Results were false with Rev's default font, true with Monaco and
Apple Mono
(OS X).
Seems like a valid direction.
Scott,
Thanks for your help. Curious thing, though. I created a script
( below) which works fine when I run it line by line in the debugger,
and _sometimes_ when I run it from a button, and then the next time
(s), from the same button, it just chugs along and and returns
nothing. Any ideas?
on mouseUp
global gFixedWidthFonts
put empty into field "fixedWidth" of cd 1 of stack "FixedWidth"
put "iiiii" into field "skinnyLetter" of cd 1 of stack "FixedWidth"
put "wwwww" into field "fatLetter" of cd 1 stack "FixedWidth"
put the fontnames into vAvailableFonts
sort lines of vAvailableFonts
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of vAvailableFonts
set the textfont of field "skinnyLetter" to line x of
vAvailableFonts
set the textfont of field "fatLetter" to line x of
vAvailableFonts
wait .05 seconds -- needs time to evaluate, maybe? dunno
put the formattedwidth of fld "skinnyLetter" into vSkinny
put the formattedwidth of fld "fatLetter" into vFat
if vSkinny = vFat then
put line x of vAvailableFonts &return after field
"FixedWidth" of cd 1 of stack "FixedWidth"
end if
end repeat
put field "FixedWidth" into gFixedWidthFonts
end mouseUp
