Re: "System" font on Mac - diff between LC 8 and LC 9??

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Seems this is undesirable as a rule. What I do is set the font, size and style 
of the STACK to something, and then if I want the control to match the default 
of the stack, I set font size and style to empty.

Create a new stack in LC8 and place a field.
Open the message box and enter...
 set the htmltext of fld 1 to "this is bold and this is italic"

You should see
 this is bold and this is italic
(assuming the styles survive the emailing)
Now open the PI for the field and click on the FONT tab.
I think by default the font is called "Text" and it is one of the Lc named 
options.
Now change the font to "system".

Do the styles remain visible in the field?

Repeat the above with LC 9

For me...
With LC8 the styles disappear.
With LC9 they don't.

LC 8.1.3 (Mac OS 10.7.5):

I get the bold but NOT the italic.

LC 9.0.0 DP 4 (Mac OS 10.7.5:

exactly the same.

Best, Richmond.

Yes, same here. I’m on 10.12.5, but I imagine it would behave the same on older 
systems.
