Correct answer Sunil Yadav

Try this:

var dialog = new Window("dialog"); 
var statictext1 = dialog.add("statictext", undefined, undefined, {name: "statictext1"}); 
statictext1.text = "This 30 pt"; 
statictext1.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont("Helvetica", "Bold", 30);
dialog.show();

 

P.S. : ScriptUI.newFont() for ScriptUI will only show effect in InDesign CC 2017 or lower. In New version is not working.

Hi together,

properties like point size, font etc. do not work anymore with ScriptUI since InDesign version 9.

A long-standing bug. Never fixed.

 

Sunil's code with InDesign CS6 version 8.1:

 

 

The same code with e.g. InDesign 2021:

Hi @Jeffosaure ,

it's a bug with ScriptUI. So this happens in all products that utilize ScriptUI.

Among them InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop…

Please stop cross-posting to unrelated forum "topics" (former sub-forums) - any but "Scripting" in this case.

    He's saying don't overtag your posts with irrelevant topics. Tags are how users search for useful information on these forums, and this post is not relevant to "Activation, billing and install", for example.

      For the script UI, Page 81 of Peter Kahrel's Scripting UI for Dummies discusses this in detail: 

       

      https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/scriptui.html

       

      There is no option for the regular InDesign interface.
