Usage

fontItem.font

Description

Property; a string that specifies the name of the device font associated with the Font item. If you enter a string that does not correspond to an installed device font, an error message is displayed. To determine if a font exists on the system, use fl.isFontInstalled().
Note: When you set this value, the resulting property value might be different from the string you enter. See the following example.

Example

Assuming that the first item in the Library is a Font item, the following code displays the name of the device font currently associated with the Font item, then changes it to Times:

fl.outputPanel.clear(); 
var theItem = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items[0]; 
fl.trace(theItem.font); 
theItem.font = "Times"; 
// depending on your system, the following may display something like "Times-Roman" 
fl.trace(theItem.font);
