John,

You can't do that with a simple search. What you must do is search for all instances of Courier and then cycle through the list of foundText checking the point size, thus:

set foundText to search document 1 with find attributes {font: "Courier"}
repeat with aText in foundText
if point size of aText < 9 then
-- deal with it
end
end

Or something like that.

Dave
