SDKs font object does not provide postScriptName for some fonts

[rahul-dutt-sharma]

In case a neue achene is missing on the machine we observe this

var missingFonts = []; var usedFonts = app.activeDocument.fonts;

for (var index = 0; index < usedFonts.length; index++) { missingFonts.push(usedFonts[index].postscriptName + "\n"); }

alert(missingFonts.join('-'));

Our document has a font called Neue Achen that gives a "" as the postScript name

Hi Rahul,

Since you initially did an InCopy screen shot, have you mentioned this in the following places?

• InDesign SDK discussions in the Community forum
• InDesign Prerelease
• InDesign Developer Prerelease

If this is a CEP bug, it's unlikely to be solved. If it's a C++ SDK issue, then it's a per-host-app problem.

Since you mentioned Photoshop, if you're able to reproduce this using Photoshop UXP APIs, that may see more traction, and you can chat about it in our UXP developer forum.

Turns out that this is happening for C++ sdk as well Every other field for the Font Class is there but not postscript name. Any insights?

You can file a bug or feature request in the InDesign Developer Prerelease.... let me know if you don't have access.
