• javascript
• jquery
• html
• css
• fabricjs

• Change that as fontsize – Prasanna Aarthi Commented Aug 28, 2013 at 4:51
• obj.set(fontSize,40) is not being executed, program stops before that – Prasanna Aarthi Commented Aug 28, 2013 at 5:31

Here is a working code,

var canvas = window._canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c');
var text = new fabric.Text('Sample', {
  left: 100,
  top: 100,
  fontSize: 80,
  fill: 'navy'
});

canvas.add(text);
document
  .getElementById('btn')
  .addEventListener('click', function (e) {
    canvas.getActiveObject().set("fontSize", "30");
    canvas.renderAll();   
  });

First of all, I was able to make this work by changing

obj.set('fontSize',40);

to

obj.setFontSize(40);

Second, I think that it is not the fontSize of your object that is changed when you resize it, but its scaleX and scaleY. Hope this helps.
