| Is it possible to select a specific font through a complete drawing, with out selecting other fonts? ie, I need to select all "Verdana" fonts, to change to something else... any ideas? |

I'm not aware of a direct way to select all instances of a particular font, but I think that the WT Magic Wand Tool could be programmed to do this.
It would seem to be a logical development of the tool, and a similar capability was recently added to the Needle Tool...
How difficult would it be Alfred? Or is there a way I've forgotten

Selection Discrimination by Font Family isn't an option.
I'm not aware of an easy way to perform that type of global font selection/replacement. Some thoughts which might lead to other solutions are:
Select Special will discriminate based on color and other attributes. So, if Font Family A is 'red' and Font Family B is 'blue' you could make the global selection and change all fonts of a particular color (aka font family). Sadly, this model requires having color coordinated in advance which is rarely the case.
The WildTools Needle Tool can discriminate based on Font. So it's possible to use the Needle Tool to suck up the attributes of the desired font and change each item manually. Not the best solution for global revisions.
Hope that helps

| I've thought for years this would be a nice addition, perhaps we could implement this into PC7? |
