Get xy position of glyph

[doekewartena]

If I use the arrow keys to go threw a text then in the info panel I can see the X and Y coordinate relative to the text container.

Is it possible to retreive this x and y coordinate for each glyph in the text with a script?

Try this—it would be relative to the current ruler zeropoint:

var x = app.activeDocument.selection[0].horizontalOffset;
var y = app.activeDocument.selection[0].baseline

alert("x: " + x + "\ry: " + y);
