Do you get an error, or does the font not change?
Did you really mean to start with "field0"? If not, put "add 1 to
mycounter" at the head of the loop.
Is "times" installed on the computer? On Windows, it's more likely to
be "Times New Roman".
Has the text within the fields had its font set independently of the
field setting? To get round that, you could try this:
set the textfont of char 1 to -1 of field ("field"&mycounter) of card
mycard to empty
set the textfont of field ("field"&mycounter) of card mycard to "times"
Good luck
