Sorry. It was difficult to design this in, because the way styles in fields are architected currently, any change to font, size, style, or color sets all of them. For example, if you have a field of 11-point Verdana, and you boldface one word, the word's font and size are set to Verdana 11 - so if you change the field to New York 18, for example, the boldfaced word will still be Verdana 11.


The documentation has a lot of style changes, so what this means in practice is that to change the doc font or size, you need to go through all the style runs on each of the thousands of cards in the documentation, and change the font and size for each of them. This can be done in a script but it takes too long to be practical as a preference setting. (But if the architecture changes to allow this to be fast, I'm sure it will be done.)

This will be possible only when text attributes will become truly inherited. I mean individually inherited. As it is now, they are object/chunk attributes are now stored in sets (bundles of font name, size, and style). This should be an enhancement request but I don't recall seeing it in bugzilla.
