get FontSize of the text

[nandhinin87775610]

Hi,

how to get the font size of the text? the following code returns empty

  var oProp = doc.GetTextPropVal( textRange.beg, Constants.FP_FontSize);

  alert(oProp.propVal.sval);

pls help

Use oProp.propVal.val instead. And note that all sizes in Fm are expressed in Metrics. For a full conversion table from Metrics to other measurement units, here is the page in the FDK Reference Guide you can use:

I have always found it very hard to set individual text properties. Maybe Rick can jump in here (I am sure he will - but he is in the US so in a different time zone).

Thank you  for your response.. i have used ival instead of sval then works fine..

now i am trying to reset the font size..

pls help how to set the font size using setTextPropVal() or is there any other method to set font size?

var doc, textRange, prop;
doc = app.ActiveDoc;
textRange = doc.TextSelection;
prop = new PropVal ();
prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_FontSize;
prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Metric;
prop.propVal.val = 8 * 65536;
doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop);

Hi, This is sample script

var findSize  = "12";

var changeSize = "20";

var doc = app.ActiveDoc;

var pgf = doc.TextSelection.beg.obj;

main(pgf, doc);

function main (pgf, doc) {

    var end = Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET - 1, begin = 0, textRange;

    var textList = pgf.GetText (Constants.FTI_CharPropsChange);

    for (var i = textList.length - 1; i >= 0; i -= 1) {

        begin = textList.offset;

        if (begin !== end) {          

            textRange = new TextRange (new TextLoc (pgf, begin), new TextLoc (pgf, end));           

            var oProp = doc.GetTextPropVal(textRange.beg, Constants.FP_FontSize);

            if(oProp.propVal.ival /  65536 == Number(findSize)){

                newVal = 65536 * changeSize;    

                prop = new PropVal ();

                prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_FontSize;

                prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Metric;

                prop.propVal.val = newVal;                  

                doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop);

                }                  

            end = begin;

        }

    }

    if (end > 0) {

        textRange = new TextRange (new TextLoc (pgf,0), new TextLoc (pgf,end));

         var oProp = doc.GetTextPropVal(textRange.beg, Constants.FP_FontSize);      

         if(oProp.propVal.ival /  65536 == Number(findSize)){            

         newVal = 65536 * Number(changeSize);     

         prop = new PropVal ();

        prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_FontSize;

        prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Metric;

        prop.propVal.val = newVal;

        doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop);

        }

    }

}

The above script found text which have font size 12pt successfully.. but did not changed to the size 20pt.. i think it changed by default size..

is there any mistake in the above script?

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you changing the whole paragraph from 12 to 20 points, or just some words inside the paragraph. You are trying to make a local property change and this is not typically how you do things in FrameMaker. You would normally modify or apply a Paragraph or Character Format to text or change the Format's properties. Can you give us the overall task that you are trying to accomplish?
