How to avoid overflow of TextFrame contents for different Font

I'm facing the issue of text-overflow for TextFrame content in Indesign based on the font style

For Ex:

If I use the font ITC Avant Garde Gothic for the TextFrame content :

Jack
Tom
Henry
David
Steve

with the dedicated height and width for the text frame and if I use another font like Montserrat for the same TextFrame content, the content gets overflowed.

How can I overcome the issue using the script? (I don't want to change the Height and Width of the TextFrame for different Font Style)

Can't we set it the same as Illustrator using script?

You don't need a script. Use Object Styles. But do it via script is:

myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.CAP_HEIGHT;
myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.minimumFirstBaselineOffset = ".1 in";

Change the First baseline offset for the text frame. If you use a fixed height then the first baseline will always be in the same place regardless of font.

Hi, this is my doubt about using the font Montserrat,

Here on the left side I have the screenshot of the INDESIGN Document and on the Right side, I have the screenshot of the Illustrator Document, here I have used the same font Montserrat Regular for both INDESIGN and ILLUSTRATOR in INDESIGN the text has started with some space above the content and in ILLUSTRATOR there is no space compared to INDESIGN. Is it possible to create the text without any space above in INDESIGN using script?
