Malte, thanks very much for replying.

I have managed to get things working thanks to Robert Brenstein, who pointed
me in the direction of coding the script in the substack as:

set the textFont of field "edtText" of card id 1002 of stack "Text Change
Dialog" to tFontName

This works and sets the textFont back in the main stack - and without
resorting to global variables.  I had tried something along these lines
originally, but had obviously got the syntax wrong.

Thanks again for your help,

Karen
