: How to replace a font by another on all text layers in Photoshop? I have a big PSD file with hundreds of text layers all placed in a lot of folders and subfolders. Some of those layers

Update:

I wrote a script that should do what you want. Save it to a file with a .jsx extension and run the script with your document open. It will prompt you for the name of the font you want to replace, then the font you want to replace with. You will need to enter the PostScript name of the fonts.

var fontToReplace = prompt("Which font would you like to replace?","(PostScript font name)","Replace Font");
var replacementFont = prompt("with...","(PostScript font name)","Replace Font");

var doc = app.activeDocument;

function replaceFont(target)
{
var layers = target.layers;
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {

if (layers[i].typename == "LayerSet") {

replaceFont(layers[i]);

} else if (layers[i].kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {

if (layers[i].textItem.font == fontToReplace) {
layers[i].textItem.font = replacementFont;
}
};
};
};
replaceFont(doc);




Original Answer:

So this isn't the easiest, fastest or cleanest solution but it's the best I can think of right now!


Disable the font you want to change (i.e. using a font manager)
Using the layers panel, filter by type layers.
All the layers with a missing font (i.e. the font you want to change) will have a little yellow warning triangle—select them.
Use the character panel to change the font.




It's not the fastest but it's a bit faster than trawling through all your layers and figuring out what is what. Writing a script to do this would probably be the best way to go.
