Finding a font
Finding a font
Is there a way to search for a font with the Find function? I want to be able to replace all text that has a particular font with a style.
Re: Finding a font
yes, there is; try this:
- set the find window in power find pro mode, and look for .+
- uncheck the whole word option
- select format > fonts > document fonts > the font you need
(this should automatically tick the attribute sensitive box) - press find next or find all
Re: Finding a font
Ok, thanks to you, I can now find and replace text of a certain font, font size, etc, with a style. Now I notice that when I do that, the bookmarks that Scrivener created as my TOC are no longer working. Obviously doing a Find And Replace on all the section titles trashed them, which is understandable. So I can either replace the TOC Scrivener created with a native Nisus TOC, or else, instead of doing a Find And Replace on section titles with Nisus, I guess I can create a macro that finds each such section title and then inserts the appropriate style.

It might be worth looking at Kino's famous selection macros, in particular the one for selecting by font. See the macro repository.

Re: Finding a font
Thanks for pointing this macro selection out. I notice that the Select by Font macro is in the Macro drop-down list by default. Now, as long as I make sure all the various headings I have in my document created by Scrivener have the same font (while changing their size, alignment, etc., depending on what sort of heading each is), I can use the Select by Font macro and then simply apply what I want in common to all of them. In this case, it's the Keep With Next Paragraph property that Scrivener doesn't seem to export during its Compile routine. Now I don't even need to mess with styles. Thanks again.
