Test sample file.Thank you.I don't know what's going on yet. Quite strange. Can you please try this and let us know what you see?$.writeln("text/units = " + app.preferences.getIntegerPreference("text/units"));$.writeln("text/asianunits = " + app.preferences.getIntegerPreference("text/asianunits"));When I run it, I see:text/units = 2text/asianunits = 2

Hi @은정주2002854, could you please try have a look at the leading of each character? Something like this:

(function () {

    var doc = app.activeDocument,
        textFrame = doc.textFrames[0],
        text = textFrame.textRange;

    for (var i = 0, len = text.length - 1; i <= len; i++) {
        var ch = text.characters[i];
        $.writeln(i + ': ch.leading = ' + ch.leading);
    }

})();

I think the effective leading will be the maximum of the leading of the characters in the line.

If that doesn't help, could you please share your demo .ai file? (You can save as .pdf with illustrator editing capabilities.)
