Some help needed!

Robin,

Something like this could be used to control the text size of buttons
or fields after the stack has been resized, still using geometry to control
the button sizes themselves.

on postResizeStack
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons of this card
      if the width of btn i >= 170 then set the textSize of btn i to 18
      if the width of btn i < 170 then set the textSize of btn i to 14
      if the width of btn i < 125 then set the textSize of btn i to 10
      if the width of btn i < 100 then set the textSize of btn i to 8
   end repeat
end postResizeStack
