I did not know that. I was testing different fonts just to see if I 
could cause HTML changes.

remember this; from the docs:

If the prompt contains <p> or a start/end tag pair, the answer command 
assumes the text is in the same format as the htmlText property. 
Otherwise, the answer command assumes the text is plain text.

This:

> text</b></f><p><font face = Lucida Grande size = 11>Informative 
> text</f></p>" with Continue as sheet

Should be properly nested "<p></p>" sets:
answer warning "<p><font face=Lucida Grande size=13><b>Message 
text</b></font></p>
<p><font face=Lucida Grande size=11>Informative text</font></p>" with 
Continue as sheet

I never saw Lucida Grande size=13 or size=11 available from my font 
choices in Rev; Mac 10.2.4
