SetFont on specific substring – change style of only one letter in text layer
Hi all!
I’m trying to change the font on only one letter of a text layer.
Can i use the substring to isolate the letter and use setFont to change that specific letter?this is roughly what i’m trying here, obviously not working.
style.setFont(“Rhode-MediumExtended”);
substr(2,3)
;thanks!

It is not possible in After Effects,
you can only set Font-attributes for the entire layer via scripting/expressions. -
This might be a dumb way of doing it, but maybe as a workaround, you could store the text before that letter, the letter itself, and the text following that letter, and then remove the text layer and generate three new text layers in its place, each with a piece of the original text in the font you need.
