That is what happens. An object's properties are inherited from it's owner unless you specify a different value either in the inspector or by script. Controls are owned by a group or a card, a card is owned by a stack and a stack is owned by its main stack.
Assuming I'm not totally offbase, that's why I think I could just change the font of the main stack and not bother going through every control on every card. Busy testing that out right now. I believe it's also possible to use profiles to do this but I haven't got round to figuring profiles out yet.
