Specifying the font name correctly. Type the font name exactly as it appears when you choose Font from the Type menu. If the system on which the plug-in or script is running includes Adobe Type Reunion (ATR), Font Harmony, or another utility that alters the font list, the name must appear as it would in the menu without the utility running. To see the appropriate name, open the Type Specifications dialog box and select the desired font.

PSelect(2);
PFont("BI Times BoldItalic");
