textHeight and textSize

[simplsol at aol.com]

With textSize it's either automatic or manual.
To make manual adjustments:
First set choose the textFont and textSize from the Text Formatting 
Palette
Second choose the textHeight from the Basic Properties Palette
ANY change to the first palette will change the textHeight to Rev's 
default (not just textSize changes).
You can set a typeface or font for the entire stack, rather than field 
by field and button by button, if you want. However any fields or 
buttons that already have a typeface selected will not have it 
overrided. So if you are going for a global typeface change run a 
script similar to this:
repeat with i = 1 to the number of flds
set the textFont of fld i to empty
set the textSize of fld i to empty
set the textHeight of fld i to empty
end repeat

Subject: textHeight and textSize

   Hi All, 
 
 I have some troubles with the textHeight and textSize properties. 
 
 The documentation says: 
 
 " 
  If you change the field's textSize, Revolution automatically sets the 
textHeight to trunc(4/3 * the textSize of field). For example, if the 
textSize is set to 12, the textHeight is set to 16 by default. If the 
textSize is set to 14, the textHeight is set to 18. 
 " 
 
  With some fonts this is okay, but I have some fonts with a greater 
textHeight/textSize ratio. For example handwriting fonts. 
 With these fonts the text looks not so nice in a field. 
  Is there a way to determine the good textHeight : textSize ratio 
within Revolution ? 
 
 Thanks for your help!
