One warning about getting font size: if the layer has been transformed, you will get an incorrect reading of the size.

You can try this:

var tLayer = activeDocument.activeLayer;

alert(tLayer.textItem.font.size);

    Text layers can also have a mixture of text font size and more than a single font. Text is very complex.

      sTT = stringIDToTypeID, tK = sTT('textKey');
(ref = new ActionReference()).putProperty(sTT('property'), tK)
ref.putEnumerated(sTT('textLayer'),sTT('ordinal'),sTT('targetEnum'))
executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(tK).getObjectValue
(sTT('transform')).getDouble(sTT('yy'))	// * size

       


      @Kukurykus sorry i didn't see this until recently.

      attached (as txt) is my basic test to use this code.

      maybe i'm using it wrong, because I'm getting undefined for the transform value expected.
