textHeightset [the] textHeight to posInteger set [the] textHeight of field to posInteger
The textHeight property returns or sets the space, in pixels, between the baselines of Paint text or text in fields. (TextHeight doesn't apply to buttons because buttons can display only one line of text.) The default value is the value of the textSize property plus one-third of that value. You can’t set the the textHeight to a value less than the textSize. The textHeight property affects a field only when the field’s fixedLineHeight property is true. Examplesthe textHeight of field 1 set the textHeight to 15 -- for the text tool set the textHeight of field 1 to 12
