    @Egor: You’re right that 1296pt is a legacy limitation.

    I see what’s happening: the Characters palette allows larger sizes to be typed in; however, it silently changes it to 1296 pt. I hadn’t noticed that, which is why I assumed it was accepting larger sizes.

    I have voted the 333657 feature request; please close this ticket as a duplicate.

    Resizing a text frame using Resize tool or scripting API fails to resize the text within that frame if the resulting text would be greater than 1296 pt. This bug affects both the manual Resize tool and the scripting APIs (both `resize` method and `size` property).

    To reproduce, create a text frame containing text at 129.6pt. Select it, then double-click the Resize tool and enter 1000%. This works correctly. Undo, then repeat for 1001%; this time the frame resizes but the text does not.

    Using the equivalent JSX, the following fails to resize the text:

    app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].resize(1001, 1001)

    Setting the text size directly also fails:

    app.activeDocument.textFrames.getByName('script 2').characters[0].size = 1297

    Error 8753: invalid text range
