Change font for a part of textSource with scripting
Hello,
I am familiar with changing fonts for a whole layer/textSource through scripting.
However, would it be possible to apply different FONT FAMILY options for only a portion in the X words of a text layer?
For example:
‘We have a test sentence in a textSource’And I would like to change font for ‘test sentence’, where it would look like:
‘We have a test sentence(different font) in a textSource’Changing options like fill weight, tracking, etc, could be done by accessing ‘Text Animator’ properties and affecting the range. However, what about the font?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, all characters get the same formatting.

Dan,
thanks a lot for your input, I had only small chances with fingers crossed that it could be possible.
The best workaround would be to add text word after word, estimating the space gaps between the words while formatting each of them separately?Assuming I have a line of text and creating layer from scratch.
However, in such case ‘Text Animator’ control over the whole phrase would be lost. Seems like win-lose situation here(:

Depending on what you’re doing with the Animators, you could possibly control them using Expression Selectors with expression that would take into account the previous text layers. It would probably be a pain to set up for a one-off, but might be worth it for a template.
