fonts & styles

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi,

Just an addendum to my last post to be clear:

Create a new stack and a field.
Type anything in it.
Select any word and check its font in the Text menu: it's the owner's  
font.
Set the style of this word to bold (or change its size, etc.)
Check the font in the Text menu: it's no longer the owner's font but  
now it's the *effective* owner's font which appear check-marked.

May be Ken (if you hear me :-) could provide some regex to strip the  
font tags when they are specifying the owner's font in the html text?
Would be a solution?
