Yes, that's what I'm doing. However, as I said, the text _after_ the
specified-font text does _not_ switch to the altered owner's font.
Let me clarifiy: a field contains a dozen lines, let's say; the first
six and last four have been created using Palatino, with Palatino as
the stack font, so there's no font specification on any of those
lines. Lines 7-8 have had their Text Formatting properties altered so
their font is specified as Courier. Now in the main stack's script I
insert the line "set the textfont of me to 'Arial'" and save and
close the stack and its substacks and reopen. Now on that example
card, in that field, lines 1-6 are Arial, 7-8 are Courier (all as
expected) -- but lines 9-12 are still in Palatino.
I'm beginning to think this is a bug. I'll file a BZ on it. Any ideas
on workarounds meanwhile? That don't involve iterating over all lines
in all fields on all cards??

1. Combining a specified font and a "not specified" font:
If you have a field with no font specified (use owner's font) and
then you set the font for some lines, for instance, to Courier New
(selecting these lines and choosing the right font in the Text menu).
Then when you set the textFont of the stack (by script or in the
properties inspector), only lines which use owner's font will
change: they will appear in the specified font but the lines
previously set in Courier New will stay unchanged.
