Source text / pick whip
I have slaved the source text of layer 2 to the source text of layer 1 using the pickwhip.
When I change layer 1’s text — layer 2 changes — perfectly.
But when I went in and edited the font for a few of the letters in Source Text 1 — so now I have a line of text some letters in the original font — the others in a different font, — Layer 2 did not reflect the new font — it is using the old font for the whole line of text.
Any thoughts??

When you use an expression to pick up text from another layer, none of the master’s text attributes come with the text. The slave text picks up the formatting of it’s original first character and applies that to all characters.

Gotch ya’
Thanks Dan. Is there any way to copy/paste attributes in text layers — so I can copy all the formatting and paste it to the other layers?
— I’d prefer not to have to duplicate the layers because they are three different color ramps…

Do you mean just paste in the formatting, not the text itself? I don’t think so.

No I mean copy the text and its formatting to paste to another text layer…

I just tried it. It seems to work fine – select new text with text tool, copy, select old text, paste.
Is that what you mean?
