Or call setNewTextFormat() instead. setTextFormat() applies to the _existing_ text within the field.
setNewTextFormat() applies to any text that will be put into the field. This is why (Nathan) you're having to call setTextFormat() multiple times - calling setNewTextFormat() just once, before putting anything into the field, should solve that issue.
