Re: Error in textFont reporting?
Another solution (workaround): using field 1 and field 2 (hidden) on action if the selectedText is empty then exit to top copy select char 1 to -1 of fld 2 paste set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld 2 to 12 --now same size put the effective textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld 2 into fontAnswer answer fontAnswer end action -- either the font or mixed On 1/16/07 10:03 PM, Bob Warren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mark (Smith): You didn't solve my problem, but you gave me the inspiration to solve it!

Error in textFont reporting?
Sorry if this question has been asked before (I suspect it might have been), but a quick answer from somebody could be quicker than searching. I have a single word (e.g. robert) in a field test. The whole word is in the Courier font, but the middle 2 letters are of a size different to the others. I am doing something like this in the field's coding: on mouseMove if the selectedText is not empty then put the textFont of the selectedText into field result end if end mouseMove OR on mouseMove if the selectedChunk is not empty then put the textFont of the selectedChunk into field result end if end mouseMove If I select the whole word in field test, instead of courier in the field result I get mixed. But it is the SIZE that is mixed, NOT the font name! I am using Rev 2.6.1. Am I doing something silly, or is this a known error? If it is a known error, is there a workaround? Has it been fixed in Rev 2.7? Thanks in advance for your patience.

Re: Error in textFont reporting?
A workaround (assuming that the textfont is never actually going to be mixed) might be to get the textFont of char 1 of the selectedText.

The selected text may or may not have mixed textFonts.
