[index at kenjikojima.com]

Richmond,

I tried many times same script all day, but could not make. Strange.
Anyway I could. Thanks.

on mouseDown
   if the platform is "MacOS" then
      set the textFont of me to "Osaka"
   else
      set the textFont of me to "Tahoma"
   end if
   get the fontNames
   repeat for each line tLine in it
      if the fontLanguage of tLine is "japanese" then
         put tLine & cr after tFontNames
      end if
   end repeat
   sort tFontNames
   delete char -1 of tFontNames
   set the text of me to tFontNames
end mouseDown

on menuPick pItemName
  set the textFont of fld "nihongo" to pItemName
end menuPick
