Change fonts of photoshop text layer via panel developed by Flex Builder

Hi everyone,
I am developing photoshop cs5 plugin which will change font family of text layer. Changeing system font is ok but my embedded font is not loading on text layer.
syntax used to change font on text layer.
var AD = activeDocument;
AD.activeLayer.textItem.font="Verdana";
I have few webfonts on my local drive. how can i use this font so that it can reflect on text layer in runtime with out installing manually in system font.
In developed panel, embedded fonts are rendering but I need to change font of text layer on clicking fonts list from panel.
Does anyone have any idea on it? Please help me.
Thanks,
PluginBishnu

How do I change fonts in a Text field ??

Okay I've tried to implement a JComboBox that allows the user to change fonts in the text field. So far I've tried different methods to do it but to no avail. Could somebodoy here read the programs source code for me and tell me where I went wrong?

Is there a way to locate file path of a font used in text layer?

I delivered a file to a client and there is a missing text layer dependency.
I thought I delivered the correct font for the text layer but there is an issue somewhere...perhaps multiple versions of the font on my system..or slight
difference in the font name. The project loads without the error on my system.
Is there a method within After Effects to obtain a file path for the font I am using? ..or at least a way to get more detailed information
about the font itself?...I mean beyond what is available in the font selection window.
I need to locate the exact font in the exact folder After Effects is pulling it from.

even better..I did a search within Fontbook for comparable file name..as I don't add and remove fonts constantly
and discovered the font and also discovered why there was confusion in AEFX..the font had been generated in
Fontographer and it's file name did not match error prompt or collected file report
that was better than suffering through the 100's of possible results I was getting in Finder. And Fontbook also provided the path to the exact font used...
..feeling a bit silly...but I think this will work.

Photoshop CS6 Layer via Copy Question

Hi,
I've noticed that when a selection is Layer via Copyed in Photoshop CS6, it appears brighter and slightly more saturated in color than the original selection it came from. Currently I manually make lighting and color adjustments to match it back to the original, but is there a way to prevent this altogether? There are no masks or adjustment layers or any other tools being used when this happens -- just a simple Layer via Copy.
I'm not sure if there is a setting that will help cut out that time consuming manual step of retouching to match the original selection, but any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

There shouldn't be any difference if it's just layer via copy in the same document.
What operating system are you using?
Is photoshop cs6 up to date?
(Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6)
Could you post a screenshot(s) showing the difference and your layers panel?

Changing font in a text area?

how do you change the font in a text area

Right idea, but it's off. Try this:
navi.setFont(new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 12));

How do I change Fonts or manipulate text I am writing on Firefox? Is there a toolbar, or extension I can get to have easy access to these type of tools?

When writing comments or sending messages,etc., I would like to be able to have access to text options such as; bold, underline, change font, font size,color, etc. I've seen others do this but cannot find anything on my desktop to allow me these write tools.

Orange Firefox button>Options>Options>Security, Privacy etc.
If the Firefox button isn't showing - right click on a toolbar space and uncheck the Menu Bar, this will reveal the Firefox button and you can toggle from one to the other.
Or, in the Menu Bar>Tools>Options.

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me 'options' to choose from.

Animating a photoshop text layer in After Effects

Im trying to animate the test from a page that was built in photoshop. I save the layers all seperatly but AE just recognizes the text box not the text itself, so i am unable to use the text animations on it. Is this even possible and if so how do i get it to work right?

Have you tried Layer --> Convert to editable text? If that doesn't work, then it's a clear indication that something is up with the text like specific formatting being used, faux italic and bold text decorations etc.. AE can't replicate some of these things. It should show you the stored rasterized layer, though. Also check for grouping, clipping masks, layer styles etc. in the PSD. Certain combinations might also cause layers to not render...

How to change font size of text inside a "text box" form the Drawing Markups?

Hi,
I expected there to be an option to change the font size after I selected the text and right-clicked, but no, there is only one option that allows you to change the text style but not the font size.
Does anyone know how to change the font size?

Don't know what the e-mail is about, why not just log into the forums. In any case, it does not sound like a text box, but one of the other text options (like the Typewriter tool). The regular text edit tool allows you to edit the text and fonts in a regular text box. Select the box and use ctrl-E. You may have to select the text edit tool (name changed in AAX) first. Such editing is not really recommended. Editting in Acrobat should be limited to simple changes, and those often become a pain. The best method of fixing the problem is in the original document and then creating a new PDF.

Changing Font on Alt text?

Is there a way to change the font/color of alternative text?
Or is this all part of the user browser specifications?
Thanks!

No, you cannot change that. But the alt attribute's value is
not displayed
in any modern browser except for IE. Perhaps you should
consider using the
title attribute, which is displayed in all browsers?

Change font colour in Text Field

If I have typed 'The Cat Sat On The Mat' into a text field yet I want 'The Cat' to appear in bold and the rest as normal, how can I do this or even in a different colour?
Any help would be appreciated

The only way to do this, is a text field that you change from plain text to rich text.
Then you can enter what you want, press ctrl+b to make something bold.
If you want to see the content of your box, use TextField.value.exData.saveXML() ...

Change font color shifts text in Acrobat XI PRO

When I go into an acrobat document and try to chnage the font color, it shifts the text and the paragraph it's in. I contacted Adobe about it a few months ago and they told me it was a know bug.
When is it going to be fixed?

Since this is a user-to-user forum, we don't have access to that type of information.

Can we apply embedded font in extension to a text layer of Photoshop ?

Hi All,
I have embedded some fonts into my Flex extension panel of Photoshop.
Can I apply these fonts to any text layer?
Kindly help URGENTLY!
Thanks,
D.A

Here are 3 options for future reference:
1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source. This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
2. Use a group to do the animation. Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
3. Use the Link behavior.
Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.
