Setting fonts

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Charles,

What version of Rev do you use?
Which platform?

Here it's working:
First, you set all textfont specs of any field, card and stack to empty.
You paste a text in any field.
You select the text and set its textfont to "Use Owner's Font" (empty)
You select the lines you want to be in another font as Courier and  
set them.
Now you set the textfont of the stack to any font and all lines the  
textfont of which were empty adopt the specified font (your 9-12  
lines included).
You can change the textfont stack and it's going to work.
You can save and reopen the stack: all is perfect.

Rev 2.6 Mac OS X10.4.1
