I was half correct. If you set, at least once, the textsize, textStyle or textFont of a new button either via script or via the property inspector, all is well. It is only with buttons that have never had any of these three properties manhandled where the properties are empty. Setting just one of the three fixes all three.

Right. If you haven't specifically set a property, it's inherited from its owner (or another higher up the chain.) A button that has no font settings will show empty for those properties. If you only want to know the inherited properties, then use the "effective" keyword:

 put the effective textfont of btn id 1006

That gives you the info without having to specifically set the font of each button.

What I don't understand is why you got a value when asking by button name. The properties should be empty no matter what type of object reference you use.
