Thanks Richard,

I just tested it again, and I can confirm it doesn't work that way -- when it can't find the specified font, it does not apply the fontStyle or fontSize settings.

The Test: I created a test stack with five fields on OSX that had the following font, style and size properties:


1. Nothing set (all default) 2. Set bold attribute only 3. Set to 14 pt 4. Set font = "0" 5 Set font = "0" and bold

Try to set the font to ""

Setting the font of a stack to "0" will put "0" into the textFont property of the stack.

Sometimes looking at the scripts of the IDE can clarify things.
In RR they ommited the "none" option in the fontlist of the font chooser as emptying the field will report empty.
In MC they have the "none" option in the font chooserlist and in the script you will find:


on setproperty p, v
  local setstring
  if the selectedObject is not empty then
    if v is "none" then put empty into v
.
.
.
If the choice is "none" then it should be replaced with empty.

May be adding a line which changes "0" into empty for die-hard zero-users could ease things.

HTH
