get TextItem.size

Hi folks,

I am trying to get the point size of text items in a script. I have tried to simply access the TextItem.size property on both POINT and PARAGRPAH TexItem's but in both cases the property contains NaN. It seems we can only use this property to set the point size?

Does anyone know a way to find out the point size a TextItem uses?

regards

Ben

You need to have the text layer to be the active layer.

#target photoshop
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName("textLayer");
alert(activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.size);

After some more testing it seems that we can get the point size of a text item even if it is not the active layer, the problem I am having seems to be related to PatchPanel, either that or there is a problem in my project somewhere else causing the error. I have started a new thread over at the patchpanel forums to see if anyone there can reproduce the problem.
