text formatting

[stimpy13]

I am having a problem scripting a text size function

The result should be the test of field named "anwer" set to 12 point type

The result is 14 pt type

if i change the script to a point size other then 12 is works fine ( ie 10pt or 16 pt)

here is the very simple script i am using

Set Field [CardFile::Answer; TextSize ( CardFile2::Answer ;12)]

can anyone confirm?

thanks

What formatting does the field have on the layout you are viewing it on?

[stimpy13]

In the layout the text is set to 14 pt . oddly if i set the script to change the size to 14 pt it works fine...it just appears to be a problem setting to 12 pt

I can left lick and change the size without a problem

Try changing the layout's default font size to 10.

(Click on the background of the body in layout mode and change the font size size in the menu).

Ah. It appears that the field formatting on the layout over-rides the "embedded" text formatting.

Yes the user can format the text and override the field formatting ...which is one reason why this script is so important...what i am trying to establish is weather or not this is a problem just on my systems or a bug in filemaker
