Type Repeater Expression Won't Maintain Multiple Font Weights
I am using an expression to duplicate a piece of type horizontally and then vertically, it works fine until there are multiple font weights (same font) in the same type layer. Instead of maintaining the font weights in the layer it seems to default to the weight of the first character. Is there a way to keep the font weights in tact while repeating the type across screen? Please help! Thanks!!
h = myText = value+" ";
hn = effect("Horizontal Repeater")("Slider");
for(i=1;i<hn;i++)
(
h+=myText
)
h;
v = vText = (h+=myText)+"\r";
vn = effect("Vertical Repeater")("Slider");
for(i=1;i<vn;i++)
{
v+=vText;
}
v;

As you’ve discovered, once you apply an expression to Source Text, all characters get the formatting of the first character. Unfortunately, that’s just how it works.

Dang, thanks for the quick reply.
