    Hi all,
    Greetings.

    I like to have a list of the names of the fonts that are used in any .indd file. The name of the fonts are to be saved as a separate .indd file. How can I do this using the javascript scripts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    try this simple piece fo code. Id saves a text file filled with complete list od used fonts on the same level as original INDD file.
    In my opinion it is the simplest and most flexible way to have a font list. You can use it with INDD or/and e.g. Excell.

    Best regards Robert

    if ( !app.documents.length ) { alert ( ‘Open document, please !’ ); exit(); }

    var doc = app.activeDocument, dp = doc.filePath.fsName, dn = doc.name.slice(0,-5), fonts = doc.fonts.everyItem().name;

    var raport = fonts.join( ‘\r’ );

    saveTextFile ( raport );

    function saveTextFile ( text ) {
    var tf = new File ( dp + ‘/’ + dn + ‘_FontList.txt’ );
    tf.open ( ‘w’ ); tf.encoding = ‘utf-8’; tf.write( text ); tf.close();
    }
