HtmlText is not HTML.
It was added to the engine as a convenient way to use HTML-like tagging
to express field contents with styles.
Header tags (eg "H1") are an HTML convention. LiveCode has no CSS, and
hence ability to define header specifiers for size. If you try this:
set the textSize of fld 1 to "h1"
...it should fail.
But as a convenience or those who may be attempting to mix and match a
limited form of HTML with LC's HtmlText, the engine will allow header
tags as input, translating them to fixed values.
As you've discovered there, the fixed value for "H1" is 34.

Attributes of field objects are different from attributes of style runs
in the content within the field object.
Changes to the object's textColor, textSize, and textFont will affect
the visual rendering of the object's contents only, leaving the contents
as stored unaffected.
If the content has any attribute set within a style run, that setting
overrides any setting for the object, much as we see with inheritance of
visual properties throughout LC.
If you want to change the textSize of the contents of the field, you can
either:
a) set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld "Whatever" to 20
b) set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld "Whatever" to empty
set the textSize of fld "Whatever" to 20
