I am writing a routine to "shrink-to-fit" text in a text frame by reducing the horizontal scaling. Here's some code - ("theFrame" is a previously-declared text frame)

tell theFrame
    repeat until overflows is false
        tell every text to set horizontal scale to 0.99 * horizontal scale
    end repeat
end tell

This seems to work mahvelously except after it is done, each of the obviously scaled characters still indicate "100%" horizontal scaling in the character palette when highlighted.

What am I missing?
