  Font size and leading expression

  Posted by Alex Nirenberg on July 25, 2021 at 12:48 am

  Hi guys, I’m having some issues with a code.

  I set up a code that controls font size and leading size with 2 sliders.
  The problem that it works only on one of them. If I place the font size at the bottom it’s the one that works. And if I put the leading one at the bottom it’s the one that works. Please help!

  var x = effect(“font-size”)(“Slider”).value;

  var y = effect(“line-space”)(“Slider”).value;

  if ( x == 2) {style.setFontSize(50)}else {style.setFontSize(100)};

  if ( y == 1) {style.setLeading(100)}else {style.setLeading(50)};

  Looks like the styles need to be on the same line. Try this:

  var x = effect("font-size")("Slider").value;
  var y = effect("line-space")("Slider").value;
  var myfontsize = 50;
  var myleading = 100;
  if ( x != 2 ) {
      myfontsize = 100;
  }
  if ( y != 1 ) {
      myleading = 50;
  }
  style.setFontSize(myfontsize).setLeading(myleading);
