Mana symbols and rules text font size are miscalculated (too large)

Have tried nailing down in the code where/how the scaling happens but haven't quite figured it out.

I have the same issue on Windows with CC2018 and found a workaround.

Things I noticed:

• mana text is exactly twice the size
• rules text is also twice the size before scaleTextToFitBox which sometimes doubles the size once again, the text may end up at 4x font size like in your screenshot
• these two texts are the only ones that use the MPlatin font

I fiddled with the scripts a bit and halving the font size seems to work for creature cards that use the normal.psd template (I haven't tried others), the text resizes nicely even when very long.

The lines I changed:

In formatText.js line 206 var myFontSize = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.size / 2;

In excessFunctions line 7 startingFontSize = textLayer.textItem.size /2;

Not sure why this happens as textItem.size is used for the name and typeline and it works just fine there, but since those two use a different font maybe it's MPlatin that creates issues.
