    Can you get a list of OSX fonts somehow?

      getting closer, but I really don't know ruby, take lots of trial and error,
      > a=(find ~/Library/Fonts/*.ttf).to_a b=(a.collect{|x| mdls -raw -name com_apple_ats_name_family #{x}}) ["(\n Momo\n)", "(\n Trek\n)", "(\n \"Machine Tool Gothic\"\n)", "(\n \"Machine Tool SanSerif\"\n)"]how do I clean out the rest?

        b=["(\n Momo\n)", "(\n Trek\n)", "(\n \"Machine Tool Gothic\"\n)", "(\n \"Machine Tool SanSerif\"\n)"] c=b.map { |f| f[/[("\s]+([^"\n]+)[)"\s]+/m,1] }

        Returns:
        ["Momo", "Trek", "Machine Tool Gothic", "Machine Tool SanSerif"]

          excellent Thomas,

          when I use it on /Library/Fonts/*.*tf I get a more complete list, but some are linked files so I get
          "could not find /Library/Fonts//儷宋."
          how do I filter those out? [if I can't resolve them]

                `tt,
                that's your browser not recognising the UFT8 apple icon. IE sometimes will show the Windows icon.

                I use it as a line marker for mac only scripts I'm testing, so when I had 3 time now's I could find the end of each easily.

                  I use Firefox.
                  Firefox understands UTF-8. There's some conversion going on here that mangles the formatting.

                    This is probably fine for Mac-only applications. But it is NOT appropriate, and even WRONG, and it will NOT work properly as a general web page character. The problem is that the unicode value used is one of several that is set aside for private use. That means that each operating system, or application, or implementation is free to use those unicode characters for anything they want. It just so happens that Apple has chosen to use unicode character U+F8FF (decimal value 63743, or on the web as either  or ) as the Apple Logo. But some Windows fonts put in a Windows logo. And some other fonts put in a Klingon Mummification glyph. Or elven script. Or anything they want. And if it isn't defined in your local font, you'll just see a square. So who knows what you might see when I put the character in right here: 

                          But, the good news is brew install fontconfig will put it in 'usr/local/bin/fc-list' without all the X11 or hidden system fonts... speed on first run, slower, but still acceptable
                          then, the penny dropped that you no longer need grep or one of the collects, so
                          t=Time.now fontList=(/usr/local/bin/fc-list : family ).split("\n").collect { |f| f.split(",")[0] }.to_a.uniq.compact.sort fin=Time.now-t puts fontList.length puts fin, Time.now-t puts fontList puts fontList.length puts fin, Time.now-t 274 0.017442 0.023794 ...print fonts 1.363478
                          not to shabby

                            So you HAVE got fc-list to work after all! 😄
                            Don't you need to include 'file' in the output as well as 'family' and grep for '.ttf' because 3dText needs a /ttf and the 'family only' way might also list .otf fonts etc too, which 3dText might baulk at ?
                            Something more like:
                            fontList=(/usr/local/bin/fc-list : file family | grep .ttf:).split("\n").collect{|f|f.split(": ")[1].split(",")[0]}.to_a.uniq.compact.sort
                            I'm not sure how you deal with the ".ttf:" - it perhaps needs some \ escaping ??
                            If the 'grep' inside the MAC OS side is slower than doing a 'next unless f=~/.ttf: /' on the Ruby side, then you can add it into the 'collect' block instead...

                              You got data back from fc-list using SketchUp Ruby??? ... but using a full path, that's the only change?

                                  YES... using fontList=(**/opt/X11/bin/fc-list** : file family | grep \/Library\/Fonts), but just to avoid X11 fonts, otherwise, all types [.ttf, otf, ttc] returned, work in SU [tested last weekend], so /Library/Fonts filter is OK.

                                    You are using these paths:

                                    /opt/X11/bin/fc-list
                                    /usr/local/bin/fc-list

                                    That didn't work for me (10.5). But this worked:
                                    /usr/X11/bin/fc-list

                                    Are any of the paths working across OSX versions?

                                      So, because I've had problems even getting the data I've ignored the fact that you've been also getting the filename and grepping out by path. What is the reason for this. So you only get fonts that works in SketchUp?

                                        Now it's just a matter of reliably finding the path on all the systems.

                                            hi TT,
                                            I did PM before I saw this, I would split it into 3 conditional block

                                            the first would use /usr/local/bin/fc-list
                                            if you revisit http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=48761&p=443899#p441686 you'll see that you don't need to grep /usr/local/bin/fc-list, because it avoids the system and X11 fonts already.

                                            second choose last in find /**/bin/fc-list array, for the latest X11 version

                                            third default to 'FontBook' it's on every mac....

                                            john

                                            learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...
