Link text problem with expression

[John Koronaios]

I want the final text have the Name with Other font and the Surname with other font…Like this.

For this reason i try to connect two diferrnet layer styles in the same text with expression…Other idea?

I don’t think you’ll be able to do this with a text style expression, as style is applied to the whole text layer, not a partial string.

If you want one name regular (or light) and the other bold, I think you will need to make them separate text layers and then use a sourceRectAtTime() expression to make the second text layer follow the first, as if it were a single text layer.

Try this:

Create two text layers and parent layer 2 to layer 1.

Add this expression to the position property of of layer 2:

rect = parent.sourceRectAtTime() ;
x = rect.left + rect.width ;
[ x, value[1] ]

Layer 2 should now follow layer 1 as you modify layer 1’s source text as if they were both on the same text line.

For my set up, i was thinking you’d want each text layer lined up by their y-axis (like it is on a single line of text), and then the expression would go on the Position property rather than the Source Text property.
