Edit individual charachters

Question

Is there a way to select certain characters in a text layer and change their attributes? ie select the last 2 characters and slightly reduce their font size, or select a word in the middle of the layer and set it to superscript?

The last I heard when trying to do this was no to long ago, was no, you can't. It appears that ExtendScript doesn't allow per character adjustments within a single text layer. I had issues awhile back when trying to retrieve such information for a script I am writing. If a text layer has multiple lines of text, more than one point size used, more than one font used, etc... You can only retrieve info relating to the first line of text within that layer. Changing the properties are even more limiting as the globally effect the text layer. Setting a point size of 10 will, as you found out, change all characters within that layer to a point size of 10.
