I think the number of professional DTPers using Rev is probably pretty small, and the overlap of those who both do DTP and want to program is very narrow. Rev is a programming tool, and needs to address a wide variety of features for many different purposes. Upgraded text handling is definitely on their list of things to do, but for now I'd hate to see them waste time putting in an awkward work-around. I'd rather they just worked on the real thing when the time comes.

In the mean time, put this in a field and kern away:

on keyup which
  if which = space and the controlkey is down then
    put word 2 of the selectedchunk into tPos
    put space into the selection
    set the textsize of char tPos of me to 1 -- adjust if necessary
  else pass keyup
end keyup

No images required, but it will definitely wreck any text parsing you want to do. The same would apply to your proposed work-around though, so this script should be a parallel solution.

Thank you for the info and code. I wasn't the one who started this thread and from your statement about wrecking any text parsing I will hold off on justification for now. But it is important to know if the Rev Team decides to use Apples MLTE text engine you can be assured Kerning and Tracking will not ever be made available so it is time to forget it or
write your own text engine using and extension or whatever.
