  ExtendScript – How to get Text Layer Italic property?

  Posted by Ryan Gold on March 20, 2018 at 12:56 am

  I’m looking for the code I could use in a script I’m writing that will check a text layer to see if it is ‘syntheticItalic’.
  I have found no examples of code that will query a layer and return a specific properties value.

  Once I can get this figured out, I will then use the result to toggle it to the opposite setting. I have the script in place to set the text layer to italic or not, but I can’t find a simple way to check the current state of the text layer.

  End result will be a script that goes through all the text layers in a file and makes normal text ‘faux italic’ and ‘faux italic’ text normal. Uh… yeah this is for a subtitling workflow.

  Any suggestions are much appreciated!

  tl:dr – toggle faux italic setting for text layers
