I think you should get the 'effective' textSize of char x in the
handler, since if the textSize is inherited from it's owner, which
maybe the field, the card, stack or whatever, it's own textSize will be
zero....

Richard,
Have tried the html way with <font size=+2> by anychance?
set the htmltext of fld "text" to "<font size+2>"&the htmltext of fld
"text"&"</font>"
Nope... that didn't work but it was worth trying ;)
and so here's the taoo's script in draft form ;)
(sorry, html is just so messy and there's no guarantee of there being
a font
size tag anyway... while the field's text does...
This function is now added to the editNO2 palette - thanks for the
ideas
and a few more variants to come.
-- inc is the increment in size (can be negative)
on increasetextsize thisfield, inc
put the length of fld thisfield into lengthtext
repeat with x = 1 to lengthText
get the textsize of char x of fld thisfield
set the textsize of char x of fld thisfield to it + inc
end repeat
-- voila
end increasetextsize
the simpler the script, the easier it is to adapt for other
functions... to
other uses like changing colors, lineheight, grids, etc...
cheers
Xavier

Subject: scripting challenge: Large/Smaller text size
Mr. Canyon and anyone else who enjoys an iterative
optimization exercise:
A common feature in apps that display text are
"Larger"/"Smaller" text size options. It seems simple at
first glance, but in practice it's hard to come up with an
especially fast version, given the need to take into account
any variety of varying sizes in the source text.
If any of you have a script for such a thing, I wonder if the
sort of group review process that was done with the clock
interface would lend itself to optimizing this?
