Thanks Paul,
I used your {} technique in my commandbold character style, which is often
applied inside my custom modified LyX-Code environment, and it worked
perfectly.
That being said, I'd *still* like to know how to save the current font, and
how to implement a stack, just for the sake of knowing.
