Before I go to work, that is!
Typically, I’d totally forgotten I’d got a 6 O’clock start tonight; happily, Adrian and the gang were ok about shifting.
But I thought I let you know that — in between all the bits and bobs I’ve had on, this week — while I’ve not managed to update the Tunnel’s and Trolls script I’ve been periodically working on, I have managed to find a couple of helpful scripts I can modify, courtesy of MacScripter and Softpedia. I’d also like to thank plistOFF, over at Twitter for his help.
But here‘s the script I’m referring to …
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
close every document saving no
make new document at the beginning of documents
set the name of window 1 to "Font Samples"
set zoomed of the front window to true
set the text of the front document to ¬
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
tell the text of the front document
set the font to "Lucinda Grande"
set the size to 24
end tell
end tell
I’m thinking I can modify this to open a pre-prepared character sheet, print it off, and — as I’ve not yet worked how to export text from Script Editor to TextEdit — tell a listener to feel free to grab a pencil.
Here’s hoping that idea works!
And, just as a thought, I’d best mention that the Tunnels and Trolls related artwork is © of Liz Danforth; who’s been doing fantasy artwork for years’s, first for Flying Buffalo, the makers of “Tunnels and Trolls”, and latterly for Wizards of the Coast, the team behind “Magic: The Gathering”; the original collectable card game.
Phew.
Now, if you’ll excuse me … ?

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
