Expressions, Text and Font

[Mylenium]

[Geof Gilland] “I am not incredibly adept with expressions, but have managed to create a page with multiple instances of the same text all over the screen.
I basically create an expression that “grabs” the text from the MASTER copy of the text.
thisComp.layer(“MASTER VISION”).text.sourceText
What I’m trying to do is to not only change the text but the font as well.
Is this possible with an expression?”

No,no and no. ;o) Thes properties are stored in the source text keyframes and are not accesible with expressions nor with scripts. Sorry, good old handycraft is required here.

Well darn. I love finding the ragged edges of a program.
The “handy-work” doesn’t require too much time…
Thanks for your help. Geof
