Do you think these are bugs? Should I report them? Or am I missing 
something?

Again, the problems:

1) changing the textFont of a group, and then the textSize of a group, 
and then getting the formattedHeight of a field in the group yields a 
wrong value.

2) removing the textFont property of the group (setting it to 'empty'), 
ALSO removes the textSize.

Is this the way things are supposed to work?
