textFont: seeing is believing (Transcript is not)

[Richard Gaskin]

Looking further into the conceptual issues with inherited font 
attributed I see one source of trouble:

    put the effective textFont of this stack

...does not report accurate information.

Try this:

   set the textFont of this stack to "0"
   put the effective textFont of this stack
   -- returns "0"

I would expect it to return the name of the font the stack's controls 
are being rendered with.

It appears that the engine is doing what we would expect, rendering with 
the system font whenever the specified font cannot be found.  But by not 
reporting the real information you need to visually verify the font 
that's being used rather than rely on Transcript.
