PS5 file in Photoshop 6, font scripting issues

Post by alagu2 »

I have a file which was created in Photoshop 5. It has a simple text with font size 23pt.

Now when I open this in Photoshop 6, I get,

"Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?". After clicking Update or No (irrespective),

when I do app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.size it gives 42.28375pt instead of 23pt.

Any help is appreciated.
