OK, in Rev 3.5, I create a brand new stack, let's say on OS X. I add a
control, let's say a tab control, and set its text size and style. Now when
I move the stack to Vista or XP, the text of the tab control takes on some
default setting that I can't change. Looking in the Text menu or using the
message box, the textsize/style is reported as being the same as my original
styling, but the appearance of the tab control is incorrect and won't
update. Using the Text menu or by script I am unable to modify the text
appearance.
Looking through custom properties of the stack/card with "Revolution UI
elements..." enabled in Preferences doesn't appear to show any custom
properties set for text.
WTF? Even on newly created stacks with minimal text formatting, the
settings don't carry over across platforms, and won't update.
I haven't looked at the stack in Windows but peeked at it in OS X. I
think the problem has to do with how textfonts work. Whenever you set a
textstyle and size, the textfont is also stored; Rev can't save only
size and style info without also saving the font. The font that is being
stored for your tab control is Lucida Grande, which doesn't exist on
Windows, so something else is being substituted there.
To reset it on Windows, set the textfont of the control to a
Windows-native font. Since setting the font will wipe the size and style
info, you'll need to reset both of those too. See if that helps.
