ATSFontActivate error

[joekoomen]

Not sure if this is a problem with ATSFontActivate, the projectPath, or just my skill level...

If the font name has a space in it I get an error 41 "Never heard of that function name". The script below works, but if the font name is changed to "Anglo Regular.otf" it fails.

on startUp
     global gFontRef1
     put ATSFontActivate(MediaPath(AngloRegular.otf)) into gFontRef1
     open wd 2
end startUp


function MediaPath tShortFileName -- returns path to the resources folder
     return projectPath(this proj) & "Resources:" & tShortFileName
end MediaPath

on closeProject
     global gFontRef1
     get ATSFontDeactivate(gFontRef1)
end closeProject

Should the font name be in quotes maybe?

Hi Joe,

In my projects I'm using:

global gUIFont

put projPath(this project) & "Yenco UI.otf" into tYencoUI

put ATSFontActivate(tYencoUI) into gUIFont

That seems to be working fine for me.  So yeah, I'm thinking the lack of quotes would be throwing things off.

Yep. This is something that should be added to the Help docs I think.

Thanks Mike

I just looked at that entry in the help system and the fontPath is indeed quoted in the example.

Yes, but I was constructing a path to the font and I don't normally need to put the final file in quotes (although maybe I should). This is the first time it's failed for me.

So is Mike... but he's doing it correctly.
