    Ok, I admit … sometimes I use TrueType fonts. From time to time, I’ll see a font that’s perfect for a certain assignment, but it’s true type. Just create outlines, right? But for one project, this innocent little true type font is used as a Drop Cap throughout the book. Just when you mistakenly think the assignment is a wrap, I realize I have to go back and create an outline for each dropcap — thankfully, not too, many.

    If there a method of changing a font into an outline, similar to the find/replace method? “Change All” for creating outlines would be a tremendous help.

    I’m not sure why you want to convert these to outlines.
    There isn’t anything wrong with using TrueType fonts… at least not usually. Test: if you can export the document as a PDF and it looks right in Acrobat (it almost always does), then I’d say it’s safe to use and print.

    But no, there’s no way to use find/change to find & convert to outlines.

    About “no, there’s no way to use find/change to find & convert to outlines.”!

    David, by Script of course like here (in a little more sophisticated way):

    Yes, I should always put an * next to comment like that, and then say:
    *Everything is possible with a script!
    LOL.
