I use qp.FontSize() for obtain the size of selected font, and qp.FontName.

The returned values are :

10491 ArialNarrow,Bold
16133 Arial,Bold
20840 Arial
8102 TimesNewRoman

How can I know the size from that numbers? For example, in this case the Arial are 12 pt.

Thanks for your help!!

RTFM!

FontSize()
Returns the size in bytes of the selected font. A value will only be returned for embedded TrueType or Type1 fonts. A value will not be returned for subsetted fonts or standard fonts.

GetTextSize()
Retrieves the current text size.

OK, Chicks

Instead I used qp.GetPageText(3) for each page and I get the font names and their sizes used in the document.

Thanks
