John,
You should be able to do this by nesting the text formatting functions:
TextFont ( TextSize ( MyTable::MyField ; 11 ) ; "Verdana" )
Lee.

Greetings Filemaker denizens.
I'm working in FM 8.5, trying to ensure that text pasted into a text
field
is stored as 11 pt Verdana.
The text originates from a variety of sources, such as websites, and
consequently, often has ransom note overtones.
My initial thinking was to use an auto-enter calculation using
TextFormatRemove(fieldname) to strip out existing formatting from
the text.
That works up to a point, but this approach also kills any
subsequent edits
made to the field contents (such as making some words bold).
So why not use an auto-enter calc to set the text to 11pt Verdana?
This is
where I'm coming unstuck. I know I can specify the typeface, OR the
size,
but I can't figure out how to specify BOTH the typeface AND the size.
I've hunted around for an example of a custom function that might do
this,
but I'm not making much headway.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
John Perrin
