Changing font size of many text objects?

Post by terrypin »

In PSP 8, if I have many text entries within a single vector layer, all with same font size and type, is there a way to change the font size for all of them at once please?

If you select the vectoe layer and then Image Resize , that will resize your canvas and also the text on it. Is that what you are after. Otherwise you would have to click separately with the text tool on each word set and change the size separately.

It's possible via script.

In fact I think a while ago someone who was starting to learn scripting was trying something similar here on the forums. I don't remember off hand though and I don't know of any completed scripts that are available for download that do this.

I would make one but I don't know if it would work in PSP8. PSP8 was the first one to offer this sort of scripting, but a few of the commands and parameters have changed since then and I don't know how the text information has changed.
