All tweens (except shape) require that the first and last object are

symbols and start as identical copies. Though you can tween from a size

of 14 to the equivalent size of 72, you can't size the font size number

to effect the change. Start with the 14 pt, make it a symbol, make a

copy for the last frame of the tween then use the handles, inspector or

transform function to change it size.
