Yes, more or less, though to be precise it's not so much default per se
as inherited.
As Jacque noted yesterday,
One of those gotchas that you learn once and never forget. It's really handy
when you want to change the look and feel of an entire stack, or each card in a
stack. It REALLY is handy when creating cross platform apps and you want to use
one font for both Windows and Mac without having to change
Richard,
Yes, if my memory doesn’t fail me, it was in italic. Hmmm, I guess I was
supposed to know that meant it wasn’t set and the value shown was a default?
Best,

Richard,
Yes, I realize that. However, when I first created the button, on the source
card, I expected that the text size and font would be what was displayed in the
ide. However, none were actually set. Confusing for one who trusts that the ide
displays the actual properties of the object.
Check the card properties.
All evidence reported to date is fully explained by the textFfont being
set on the source card.

If the text properties in the property inspector are italic, they are
inheriting from another control with a lower layer, or inheriting from the
IDE itself. If the property is not italic, it's been set specifically on
the control.
Regardless, there will always be a number in the text size.

After the button is copied to the destination card, I do:
set the textsize of btnRef to the textsize of srcBtnRef
the contents of btnRef is:
btn "doNext2" of card "WhatsTheMystery-2" of stack
"/Users/AfilePath/PlateTectonics.livecode"
srcBtnRef is pretty much the same thing with the

I am copying a button from one card to another. The font size of the label
changes from that of the original to a large font and I can’t figure out how to
change the textsize of the label. I keep getting an error.
I’m probably missing something, but …..
How do I change the textsize of the font
