I've been doing some reading up on Text layers and from what I've heard, AE6.5 didn't have any means of accessing things such as font or size properties for a text layer. The only real exposed property seemed to be the sourceText for changing the actual text of the layer.
I'm really hoping that they've expanded on this in AE7 and actually now allow access to these properties as it would make for a lot more automatable tasks that I have in mind.
AE7 textlayer propreties, are they accessible yet?

Hi Soviut,
Unfortunately, the settings in the Paragraph and Character panels are not accessible via scripting. Only the properties that appear in the Timeline (e.g., Source Text, text animator, text selector) are accessible.
