I hope this is done soon because I deal with a lot of text.
Thanks

Dear Revvies,
There is currently a question over whether Rev's way of handling text font, size, and style should be changed and whether changing it would be a problem for backward compatibility.
If you haven't noticed, text style inheritance in Revolution is not completely intuitive. If you have a field with no style of its own and then you set its size, you may expect the font to remain inherited, but this is not the case; the font is set by Revolution to a specific font when you set a size. The reverse is also true.
The result is that you can have surprises when moving stacks between platforms, or doing other tasks where you would like to change a font at a higher level such as stack, and expect to see the effects in all the fields where you didn't specify a font. Instead, all of the fields which have any of these properties set also have their own individual settings for the other properties, so there is no inheritance at runtime and they need to be changed one by one if you need to change them.
So, do you think it would be better to change the feature to have true inheritance and (IMO) more intuitive and more useful behavior?
I wonder what the majority of Rev users think about it. Also, it's good to be aware of the behavior so that you don't get surprised!
