Getting all font names from all font sets in Extensis suitcase

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have about 3500 fonts that I have sorted into about 13 different Font Sets (serif, san serif, etc)

I don’t currently have a text file that contains every font set and what font are in them, so i thought an apple script might be a good solution to the problem. The script seems to run fine, but It runs into the same error at the same plave every time.

“Extensis Suitcase X1 got an error: sh: line 1: Number: command not found”

I am not really sure what is causing it.



--set SetTestCat to "11_misc."

do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"

tell application "Terminal"
	activate
	do script "tail -F ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
end tell

on GetFontName(Catagory)
	do shell script " echo  \" LIST NAME = \" " & Catagory & " >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
	do shell script " echo \" \" >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
	
	tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
		set theFontName to {}
		set theFontName to the name of every Font in Font Set Catagory
		repeat with i from 1 to the length of theFontName
			do shell script " echo " & item i of theFontName & " >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
			
		end repeat
	end tell
	
end GetFontName



do shell script " echo \"---------------------------------------- \" >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
do shell script " echo \"Starting New Run \" >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
do shell script " echo \" ---------------------------------------- \" >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"
do shell script " echo \" ---------------------------------------- \" >> ~/Desktop/FontList.txt"

tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
	
	set theFontList to {} as list
	set theName to {} as list
	-- get name of all font sets
	
	
	set theName to name of every Font Set
	
	-- reverse the list to show as it is in extensis
	
	set reverseList to {} as list
	repeat with i1 from 1 to the length of theName
		copy item i1 of theName to beginning of reverseList
	end repeat
	
	repeat with i2 from 1 to the length of reverseList
		my GetFontName(item i2 of reverseList)
	end repeat
	
end tell

it might be caused by the asian character set… so that would mean i would need to use quoted form of?
