Looking further into the conceptual issues with inherited font
attributed I see one source of trouble:
put the effective textFont of this stack
...does not report accurate information.
Try this:
set the textFont of this stack to "0"
put the effective textFont of this stack
-- returns "0"
I would expect it to return the name of the font the stack's controls
are being rendered with.
It appears that the engine is doing what we would expect, rendering
with the system font whenever the specified font cannot be found. But
by not reporting the real information you need to visually verify the
font that's being used rather than rely on Transcript.
This has been Bugzilla'd at:

FWIW
setting the textFont of this stack to "0"
will set it to "0"
and when asked :
put the effective textFont of this stack
it will indeed return "0"
but...
setting the textFont of this stack to "" -- empty
and then asking
will return the the effective textFont.
or the default font.
On my rig it is Helvetica
