fonts & styles

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Charles,

Rev has a weird behaviour we discussed on this list a long time ago:
If the font is the owner's font and the size the owner's size , there  
are no problem.
But once you have changed the size or the style of such a chunk, the  
font of this chunk is no longer the owner's font (empty) but the  
*effective* owner's font.
If I remember correctly, this is not a bug but falls within a runRev  
choice that we do regret.
