Hi, Kukurykus
Thanks for the reply. But I didn't understand your code. May be because I am new to Photoshop scripting. Could you please add comments to your code ?
But here is want I am after,
There are 62 character in the box, with font size of 30 pt.
There are 99 characters with 27 pt.
Notice, how the font size is changed to fit the text content inside the box.
In the above image, there are 134 characters with 22 pt.
No matter how many character the text object in JSON have, the font size should be adjusted to fit the text content inside the box.
I am stucked from last 2 days. Please, help me.
You find it also in the topic you created on there How to make text fit inside a paragraph bounding box - PS-SCRIPTS.COM
ne = (e = '==').replace(e[0], '!'), text = txt = 'Some text, some more text. '
Number.prototype.mltpl = function(v) {while(v < this) txt += text, v++; return txt}
I = !(i = 0), c = (tI = (aD = activeDocument).activeLayer.textItem).contents = 50..mltpl(i)
function comparison() {return eval((a = arguments)[0].length + a[1] + a[2].length)}
eval(evl1 = 'aHS = aD.activeHistoryState, tI.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT')
if (comparison(tI.contents, e, c)) I = 2; eval(evl2 = 'aD.activeHistoryState = aHS')
Number.prototype.fit = function(v) {// I didn't use algorithm to speed up process
do{tI.size -= this, eval(evl1); if (this > .1) i++; c = tI.contents = tI.contents, eval(evl2)}
while(comparison(c, v, txt)); if (i) I = 3 else if(!i && !~~this) I = 4}// do it yourself!
o = veryLongObject = {'1': ne, '-1': e, '.1': ne, '-.01': e, '-.1': e, '.01': ne}
for(j in o) if ((len = j.length) == I) {(+j).fit(o
); if (len > 3) {tI.size -= .01; break}}
Modify this examplary script for your needs. To check result with different values change 50 number in 50..mltpl(i) to other.
With implemented ActionManager code for size of font there's 25% faster performance:
function fontSize(v) {
function sTT(v) {return stringIDToTypeID(v)} (ref1 = new ActionReference()).putProperty(sTT('property'), tS = sTT('textStyle'))
ref1.putEnumerated(sTT('textLayer'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')); (dsc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref1);
(dsc2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putInteger(sTT('textOverrideFeatureName'), 808465458), dsc2.putInteger(sTT('typeStyleOperationType'), 3)
dsc2.putUnitDouble(sTT('size'), sTT('pixelsUnit'), v), dsc1.putObject(sTT('to'), tS, dsc2), executeAction(sTT('set'), dsc1, DialogModes.NO);
}
ne = (e = '==').replace(e[0], '!'), text = txt = 'Some text, some more text. '
Number.prototype.mltpl = function(v) {while(v < this) txt += text, v++; return txt}
I = !(i = 0), c = (tI = (aD = activeDocument).activeLayer.textItem).contents = 50..mltpl(i)
function comparison() {return eval((a = arguments)[0].length + a[1] + a[2].length)}
eval(e1 = 'aHS = aD.activeHistoryState, tI.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT')
if (comparison(tI.contents, e, c)) I = 2; eval(e2 = 'aD.activeHistoryState = aHS')
Number.prototype.fit = function(v) {
do{
fontSize(tI.size - this), eval(e1); if (this > .1) i++; c = tI.contents = tI.contents, eval(e2)
}
while(comparison(c, v, txt)); if ( i ) I = 3 else if(!i && !~~this) I = 4
}
o = veryLongObject = {'1': ne, '-1': e, '.1': ne, '-.01': e, '-.1': e, '.01': ne}
for(j in o) if ((len = j.length) == I) {(+j).fit(o
); if (len > 3) {fontSize(tI.size - .01); break}}
EDIT:
Another succesfull attempt to do the same but MUCH faster, actually so fast that you can do it all with new script manually without automation for many different single texts, and you should finish before earlier code I made did the same job (even if there was automatated loop for many texts) 
Following script is made for something more than your little one line texts. It works for huge articles with thousends words and hundreds paragraps! You don't need it, so to optimize effect of your work change 2 values. 0.125 to 1.125 at end of 19th line, and 87.5 to 50 at end of 21th line:
function font(v1, v2) {
if (v2 != false) rH = v2 ? v1 * prc = ~~(hgt / (sal = (v1 * tI.autoLeadingAmount / 100))) * sal / hgt : (prc = 1, v1);
(ref1 = new ActionReference()).putProperty(sTT('property'), sTT(S = ((f = v2 == false) ? 'paragraph' : 'text' ) + 'Style'))
ref1.putEnumerated(sTT('textLayer'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')), (dsc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref1);
(dsc2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putInteger(sTT('textOverrideFeatureName'), 808460000 + (f ? 4692 : (5400 + (v1 ? 58 : 62))))
if (!f) {
dsc2.putInteger(sTT('typeStyleOperationType'), 3), v1 ? dsc2.putUnitDouble(sTT('size'), sTT('pointsUnit'), rH) : dsc2.putBoolean(sTT('autoLeading'), true)
}
else {
dsc2.putDouble(sTT('autoLeadingPercentage'), ~~v1 / 100); for(n = !(i = 0); i < (wlg = ['Word', 'Letter', 'Glyph']).length; i++) {
for(j = 0; j < (mdm = ['Minimum', 'Desired', 'Maximum']).length; j++) dsc2.putDouble(sTT('justification' + wlg + mdm
), !!n); n-- }
}
dsc1.putObject(sTT('to'), sTT(S), dsc2), executeAction(sTT('set'), dsc1, DialogModes.NO); if (v2 != false) return rH
}
function sTT(v) {return stringIDToTypeID(v)} preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.POINTS
font((wh = [(tI = (aL = (aD = activeDocument).activeLayer).textItem).width, tI.height])[Math.abs(+!~~(wh[0] / wh[1]) - 1)] / tI.size * tI.size.as('px') * .125)
font((hgt = tI.height / 72 * (res = aD.resolution)) / (sa = (font(tI.size / Math.sqrt(tI.contents.length/ (function() {return tI.hyphenation = false, font(87.5, false),
arr = [], tI.contents = txt = tI.contents.replace(/\r/g, function(_, v) {return arr.push(v), ' '}), font(), aHS = aD.activeHistoryState, tI.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT,
len = tI.contents.length, aD.activeHistoryState = aHS, len})()))) * (aLA = tI.autoLeadingAmount) / 100) / (((b = aL.bounds)[3] - b[1] ) / sa) * aLA / 72 * res * prc, false)
i = 0; tI.contents = txt.replace(/ /g, function(_, v) {return v == arr ? (i++, '\r' ) : ' '}) font(tI.size * Math.sqrt((r = hgt / (tI.size * tI.autoLeadingAmount / 100)) / (r + i)), true)
font(tI.autoLeadingAmount * (!((function(){return len1 = tI.contents.length, aHS = aD.activeHistoryState, tI.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT, r = tI.contents.match(/\r|$/g).length,
R = (con = len1 != len2 = tI.contents.length) ? tI.contents.match(/(.*)(?=\r+$)/)[1].length - 1 : (hgt / 72 * res) / (tI.size.as('px') * (tI.autoLeadingAmount / 100) * r),
aD.activeHistoryState = aHS, con})()) ? R : ((put = tI.contents.slice(R).match(/\r/g)) ? r / (r + put.length + 1) : len2 / len1)), false)
hey, Kukurykus i've tried the script you wrote in the 'edit:' but, even tho the sizes are being adapted, there is still a big gap between the paragraph size and the text.
i've tried to tweek it but i always seem to breake it, and i cant get to understand most of the code, can you coment on this code a little more or perhaps share a more accurate version? thanks in advance! you are great.
