Add two layers in the same expression?

Hello everyone! I would like to know if it is possible to add two layers in the same expression. When I put this value, it tells me that there is an error:

s=thisComp.layer("example 1")+thisComp.layer("example2")

In fact, I have created a shape whose size changes according to the size of the text. But as the composition is intended for a .mogrt file, I would like to have two different fonts in this shape and that they are modifiable.

Is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

You cannot combine more than one font into a single Text Layer if you intend to send this out to PPro as a MoGRT. You'll have to combine two Text Layersl; each with its own font. HTH

That makes no sense and you have your logic backwards. Expressions can't even modify the pixel content of a layer, so what you want to do would never work. In your example that wouldn't be needed, anyway. You simply re-use your existing code for the size of the box and add it to the X position of the second layer.
