That's correct. Inheritance of text attributes is broken as soon as
any
style changes. I wish it weren't so, but this is indeed the case.
Oh dear.
How should I get around this? I can imagine searching each card,
putting any special-format text into temporary variables, setting the
style of everything to Plain, changing the font, then
reformatting . . . a nightmare. At the moment, nothing better is
occurring to me.
I have successfully used a frontScript that would trap preOpenCard
and then
repeat through all of the fields and set their text attributes to a
known
common value, but also checking a custom property of the fields to
see if
special handling should occur for a particular field. It works
really fast,
and isn't too many lines of code.
Cool. But (1) what about "special handling" that affects not a whole
field but some chunks within the field? And (2) doesn't this approach
take an awful lot of (that is, potentially a noticeable amount of) time?
