• Auto replace missing fonts during script place

  I have a script that runs at startup that puts a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in a word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of errors javascript because there is an open dialogue.

  Y at - it an option to automatically replace the missing fonts in a specified font?

  InDesign CS5

  Form I understand that you can't replace missing fonts until the document is opened. To avoid the modal dialog box missing fonts, you can set

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
  

  before the opening of the document and then make your substitutions of fonts. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

• Frame9: Find/replace missing fonts?

  Search function doesn't seem to work, so I hope you'll bear with me.

• How to use paragraph and character styles properly?

  I have a document in which the text has two colors (which has no style)
  

  Black (normal) and Red (to highlight the keywords).

  I needed to put these 2 in a style

  (black) paragraph style

  (red) character style

  Here's my question.

  How can I make sure that when I use the paragraph style, she also uses the style of character but only on the Red words?

  While I need not find/replace every word manually

  I want to do at once.

  If you want to add styles to a document already created:

  (1) create your character style that contains only the color of the characters

  (2) search and replace a text with red color search and replace with the new character style formatting. (Do not type anything in the text portion of the find and Replace dialog box)

  (3) create and apply your paragraph style to all. The text with the applied character Style will stay red.

• Missing fonts, how to find to replace?

  I use Adobe Illustrator CS6, CS5 upgrade on a Win7 machine. I have an old Type 1 hangover (Interstate) where I am replaced with a custom face of open Type of police Office (InterstateRL). I removed the old fonts from my system, in order to eradicate all instances and replace it with open each Illustrator file used by week. When I open the file, I get the expected message "InterstateTab-Regular: fonts not found on the system; missing font has been substituted. "Great, just what I expected! But when I find the replace it with the new police, I can't find it in the file. I did the following:

  • Look in the Normal paragraph Style (or any paragraph style). -missing font, do not use
  • Look in the Normal Character Style (or any style) - lack of fonts do not use
  • Document setup > highlight substituted fonts - none appear
  • Go to finding fonts to find missing fonts - but apparently not finding fonts
  • Go to object > path > cleaning and check empty text paths, and then click ok. Close, and then reopen the document. -does, no change
  • Check that there are no hidden layer - there is no hidden layers or sublayers
  • Check if all the colorless formatted text objects that use the missing font - none
  • Check patterns and symbols, if there is no text inside those. Find police search only what is in the document. -Choose all symbols and deleted (it does not include the text), no change.

  Other ideas for what I could try?

  SOLUTION! This appears to related to the fact that the object in the file was a GRAPH. Increments appeared always empty in the final document, and the corresponding cells in the datasheet were empty. To resolve this problem, I had to enter text in each empty cell in the first column of the datasheet to make it visible under a label the x-axis in the chart. Since it does not matter what was the text, I just used a symbol period in each empty cell. I could select group the x-axis label text at the bottom of the chart, and then apply the character Style in the favorite police and ERASE the substitution (if it was) to the character Style.

  

  

  I then closed and then reopened, and missing fonts message did not appear. I removed the open periods in the map data, saved again, and the message of missing fonts appears to be gone for good.

  It appears that regardless of the police has been assigned to the category of chart label text was always affected, even if the police were not visible in one of the panels or through the find fonts.

  NOTE: The unwanted InterstateTab-Regular police Type1 is NEVER APPEARED anywhere where I could see in Illustrator. Apparently not FINDING fonts or in my CHARACTER Panel, even when I chose only an individual 'invisible' increment, or the increments when it became visible with the symbol of the era. However, it was of course incorporated in the chart element itself at the time I created the chart. And if I have created a pdf file, Illustrator or InDesign file that the art of the Illustrator has been bound, he appeared in the FONTS tab. So he was clearly have embedded in the pdf file. The only police who all appeared in any window, except for the missing fonts on the opening message, was the Police Opentype regular correct InterstateRLTab.

• Can I choose a font backup for missing characters in a style? Or y at - it a way to select the pink areas

  I have provided tons of UTF-8 data to a MySQL database.

  There is a problem. The designer chose a font that does contain any Japanese characters. But there are a lot of Japanese-line in the text.

  If the imported text has several pink areas (not present in the fonts).

  So, I'm looking for one of the following options:

  • Is there a way to define a font fallback (like webbrowsers). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all the strange characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
  • Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares and apply a character style to them? This way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka police
  • Is there a way so that InDesign can analyze a kind of elements of markup in plain text? I could shape the MySQL with PHP output to wrap all the strange symbols in a markup like [Japanese] blabla [romanized] element. If that is converted into characterstyle "Japanese" during import, I would be helped a lot as well.
  • The hack of police: is there a way to load all the characters available in the designfont in Osaka and replace these characters and make Osaka2? Or which would result in a mess?

  I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, because that allows to tweak the height offset and basic fonts to match the other fonts.

  Does anyone know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to address my problem?

  GREP styles work fine, but I was unable to use the 'selection' given here queries.

  It seems to work for the Japanese characters so games:

  [\x{4E00}-\x{9FBF}\x{3040}-\x{30FF}]+

  Assume that the ' hooks, <> "are not allowed

• Find the Format, Font Style, character Style, Find and change, Javascript or Applescript

  A search/replace, then the Find Format (Formats of basic characters; Font style "Italic")

  Then

  Change in Format (character Style; 'my style')

  I tried to create this in Applescript and ExtendScriptToolkit.

  Yesterday, I read intro Adobes Script PDF... Now, I don't know if I am more confused or understand what is happening.

• After the creation of these character styles, apply clear replacements...

  Hello world

  After you import the Word document into InDesign CS3 in some paragraphs, there are some substitutions of style. InDesign formatting styles are not correctly designed with paragraphs. Even if that word styles are mapped with InDesign styles exactly. If I select all paragrahs and click on the 'Clear the replacements' option in the palette paragraph styles, all InDesign formatting styles are applied correctly, but the character style formatting are removed. So I planned to create the script for each font style character style and each formatting characters. After doing this I can clear overrides paragraph hassle styles. I have created the script to create styles for characters and formatting his job very well, but when I tried to run this script for the 2nd time in the same document that it showing an error inside.

  Please suggest how simply this script and make it run faster that anyone can suggest me. Also suggest me how can add this "Clear Override" syntax with this script. I want to make this very effective script. Thanks in advance to all.

  Concerning

  Indana

  Enough basic syntax, really.

  First, as indicated in the documentation, the argument is optional; Second, its default behavior is "All". You get 'all', because you have not provided any argument, and you expected something else. Apparently, you want to clear the formatting only. Just use

  myStory[j].clearOverrides(OverrideType.PARAGRAPH_ONLY);
  

  Notice that the documentation indicates the return type of this function is zero; This means that you get no return value, and it is of no use to "store" the result in a variable myOvClr.

• CS3: need script to replace spaces with underscores in the paragraph and character style names

  Help! I am very new to scripting.

  I managed to find and tweak existing javascripts to search through all my paragraph styles to disable hyphenation and off balance the jagged lines, but I need help with this one.

  I work on Mac OS 10.4.11 using Indesign CS3.

  I need a script that will search all my paragraph and character styles in my open Active document and replace spaces by underscores.

  Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

  1. I don't know, but I think you can use all the regular GREP inside this function codes. Do not use the quotation marks around of the expression, use slashes! (Why? Just a curiosity of Javascript... maybe a hack that goes back to the gray mist of JS development...)

  This work should - but rather the code above, this is not tested:

  .. Replace (/ [-\ / ()-. _] + / g. '_');

  The GOLD group inbetween the brackets contain all the characters you want to replace with an underscore: the hyphen (this has to be the first character in the group, else it will be interpreted as a range of characters from each side!), space, slash (this one is 'special' inside the function replace JavaScript, so I think he needs to escape with a backslash)! in parentheses, a period (not sure if it should escape - into ordinary GREP, it's the wildcard character for any character, but maybe he loses his magic within a group of GOLD) and finally... the underscore character. Why?

  Well, this replacement string comes with a free bonus. Note the sign after the installment of GOLD +. This means that a whole sequence of these characters is replaced by a simple underscore: "it's / a - / test" will become "This_is_a_test". Adding the underscore line itself to the string of research means that it will also find the whole chain 'space space (stroke underscore)' in 'This style (_)' and, oh magic!, replace it immediately with a single underscore.

  Just FYI, the tiny "g" after the closing slash is abbreviation of 'global', i.e. at the global level, replacing in this string. replace the default values for a replacement only (why? see above...), and adding the 'g' ensures he keeps replacing until it is not find matches more.

  2 see point 1.

  3. uh, yes it's true, but you will need to check very carefully if nothing inside one of these basic models is substituted. You can apply a base style and add substitutions to make look like a subtitle, but that isn't making it a. And to the next paragraph, you can apply a base style and add substitutions to make it look like a paragraph of plain text (etc.). It's a signature of witness to bad formatting...

• Can I create a character style to replace normal spaces with a nonbreaking space?

  I'm working on a manual with hundreds and hundreds of equations. I need to make these not to break through the lines. It seems to me that the simplest solution would be to create a character style that would automatically transform regular spaces for nonbreaking spaces. I still need to select each equation and apply the style, but at least I would not select and change each space.

  Or if there is a way to do with GREPs, I'll take that, too. Or if there is some way to make it even better and easier that I didn't even imagine, I will take only three. ;^)

  ~ Valerie

  You can apply the attribute without a break to the whole equation - just create the character with checked seamless style.

  If you post a screenshot of your equations, I'll watch it tomorrow to see if there might be a GREP search that would work.
