John, you might try using a more generalized approach. Create a
handler in the script of your UkeTab stack (the mainstack)
on placeChord theChord,theFont
put length(theChord) into chordLength
put theChord after field "TabField" of me
set the textFont of char (0 - chordLength) to -1 of fld "TabField"
of me to theFont
end placeChord
then, in each button of the first sub-stack
on mouseUp
placeChord "A","verdana" -- or whatever
end mouseUp
and in the button of the second sub-stack
on mouseUp
placeChord value(the selectedLine of fld "ChordList"),the textFont
of fld "ChordList"
end mouseUp
So what happens is that the placeChord handler is responsible for any
and all text that needs to be put into fld "TabField", and you make
use of the message path to avoid duplicating code all over the place.

Mark,
The code works great for my listfield stack! The TabField on my
mainstack
was displaying the ukefont, but when I clicked Insert on the chord
Palette,
the chord was inserted without changing the existing text. Exacty
what I'm
trying to do. But, I'm not sure what the code would be for the
other Palette
with multiple buttons (all using the same font). When I click a
button, it
changes all the text back to the ukefont.

To do this, I think you'll have to explicitly set the textFont of the
text you have just placed in fld "TabField". The text you have placed
in the global variable "chord" has no font property - it is simply
text.
So you might put something like this at the end of the placeChord
handler:
put length(chord) into chordLength
set the textFont of char (0 - chordLength) to -1 of fld "tabField" of
stack "UkeTab" to the textFont of fld "ChordList"
Best,
Mark
