Graphics

I've set up radio-button-controlled font tags to resize text in a full-screen text graphic, but the size of the font in the original text dictates the leading of multiple rows of text within the text field. After a little reasearch, I thought I might be able to GetTextHeight and then SetLeading.

I tried the script below in OnSetText. It compiled, but it didn't do what I need.
dim Body1Output as xpTextObject
Self.GetTextHeight(Body1Output.text)
Body1Output.Leading=Body1Output.textHeight

Can you share a very simple sample and I can look at it next week to see if it's caused by a bug in the software or not?

Leading is a member of XpFont object , not xpTextObject .
XpTextObject doesn't have a textHeight member

see sample code to manipulate leading information :

Dim fontObj as XpFont

Engine.GetFontByName("MyFontName", fontObj)
fontObj.Leading = val


.where MyFontName is the name of your font, and val is the new value you want to assign

If you are replacing the whole text object with a new font, I'd expect the leading of the new font to apply. Maybe im overlooking something though.
