Bizarre. Well, so how _can_ I work around it?
All I want to do is set a textfont in the main stack (on open,
depending on platform), and have all non-font-specified text adopt
(inherit) that font, without losing my links and such. The
inheritance gets killed when Rev -- gratuitously, as far as I can
tell -- inserts a hard-wired font tag after any pair of style tags.
Am I looking for some way, after opening the stack and possibly
changing the default font, of searching through every card (?!) for
extra font tags and deleting them? I'm not sure I see how to do that.

It was implemented that way many years ago (long before RunRev
acquired the engine) as a workaround for other issues. Style
attributes should of course be independent of one another.
There's a Bugzilla request for this:
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=66>
As you can tell by its number it's been there a long time.
Fortunately RunRev is aware of this and it's my understanding it's
on their radar; I don't know to what degree it's being actively
worked on right now. Hopefully someone from RunRev will chime in
here with a status report on this.
