Text fonts of text and text fields

I am learning a lot more about font than I really wanted to know.
I see now that the textfont of the field is not necessarily the same
as the text in that field--how else could you have multiple fonts in
a field.
So I can set the testFont of the field easily in script: Set the
textFont of field 1 to "times"
But how would I set the textFont of all the text in the field, other
than the kludge:
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in field 1
set the textFont of line i of field 1 to "times"
end repeat
Or by using the Text menu.
Also if "put the textfont of line 1 of field 1 into tFont" yields an
empty value for tFont, I presume that RR is using the User Font. I do
I script for the User Font? It's not listed in the preferences.
