_-TextObject Font name does not exist

Scripting

@clement / @dale can you elaborate on this solution. Not finding clear resources to resolve this issue in V5. Thx in advance.

@dustin_headley,

in my solution i used below script, replace Arial with the font name in question. It worked for me in Rhino 5 SR12 using a *.otf font which had one space character in the fontname. I used the identical font name as it appeared in the _TextObject dialog:

import Rhino
import scriptcontext
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

def DoSomething():
    te = Rhino.Geometry.TextEntity()
    te.Plane = Rhino.Geometry.Plane.WorldXY
    te.Text = "Hello World"
    te.TextHeight = 10.0
    te.Justification = Rhino.Geometry.TextJustification.BottomLeft
    te.FontIndex = scriptcontext.doc.Fonts.FindOrCreate("Arial", False, False)
    scriptcontext.doc.Objects.AddText(te)
    scriptcontext.doc.Views.Redraw()

DoSomething()

@Dale, above does not seem to work with Rhino 6 WIP. It reports:

Message: 'TextEntity' object has no attribute 'FontIndex'
