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.

@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.

 


Disregard my last post. It was a silly mistake on my part. I forgot to return the value from GetTransform().
