List of fonts

Somebody posted a question about how to write a script listing all fonts with details.

But while I was writing the script the post has gone. (How could this happen? )

Here is the script — it writes a list of all fonts available to InDesign and their details: name, full path to the font, type and version.

//-----------------------------------------

var myFonts = app.fonts.everyItem().getElements();
var myList = [];

for (i = 0; i < myFonts.length; i++) {
    var  myFont = myFonts[i];
    myList.push("Name - " + myFont.fullName);
    myList.push("Path - " + myFont.location);
    myList.push("Type - " + GetFontType(myFont));
    myList.push("Version - " + myFont.version);
    myList.push("-----------------------");
}

WriteToFile(myList.join("\r"));
alert("Done");

function GetFontType(myFont) {
    switch(myFont.fontType) {
        case FontTypes.TYPE_1:
            return  "Type 1";
        case FontTypes.TRUETYPE:
            return  "TrueType";
        case FontTypes.CID:
            return  "CID";
        case FontTypes.ATC:
            return  "ATC";
        case FontTypes.BITMAP:
            return  "Bitmap";
        case FontTypes.OCF:
            return  "OCF";
        case FontTypes.OPENTYPE_CFF:
            return  "OpenType CFF";
        case FontTypes.OPENTYPE_CID:
            return  "OpenType CID";
        case FontTypes.BITMAP:
            return  "Bitmap";
        case FontTypes.OPENTYPE_TT:
            return  "OpenType TT";
        case FontTypes.UNKNOWN:
            return  "The font type is unknown";
        default:
        return  "The font type is unknown";
    }
}

function WriteToFile(myText){
    myFile = new File("~/Desktop/List of fonts.txt");
    myFile.open("w");
    myFile.write(myText);
    myFile.close();
}
