Hi,

If making the text in textframe decrease in size by adjusting the text's verticle and horizontal scale in a percentage (say 80%), how to know the actul point size the font decrease? Is there any equation to calculate the actul Font Size (in point size) after enlargement?

Thanks.

Martin,

Thank you for your help. Yes, you said is right. I think I'm being confused by the baseline shift of the the Text display on the screen. I need to change the baseline shift accordingly after decrease the text in size.

Thanks.

Henry,

I am not sure whether I did understand your question very well.

But if you decrease a text of 10 pt down to 80% you will get an effective pointsize of 8 pt.

Just calculate 10 pt * 80/100 = 8 pt

Is this what you have been asking for?
