search & replace by font?

Is there any way to use the Find tool to identify all characters in a particular font? I want to turn all characters in Lucida Grande to Palatino, but can't seem to set the search parameters properly. This was simple in 6.5. I simply entered a Wild Card in the PowerFind field & formatted it in my chosen font. In 2.0 I don't seem to be able to format the WildCard.
TIA,
Nick Dobson

You can do what you want to do but not with Find. Instead -- assuming that the font is applied as a local attribute and not as part of a style -- place your cursor in any bit of text with the font you want to find (even if you have to create it). Click the character format tag in the status bar. It looks like a black, lowercase, underlined a. Choose "Select All" from the resulting menu. Make the font change. I hope this helps.
