font changing script?

Although you *can* work with formatted text in a variable if you deal 
with HTML. For example:

on mouseup
  put the htmltext of field "text" into temp
  replace "$" with "<font face=IpaTimes>$</font>" in temp
  set the htmltext of fld "text" to temp
end mouseup

would work fine and for large amounts of text would probably be 
significantly faster (although if the $ was already specially formatted, 
the script would be slightly more complicated).
