Preferred Font

[Mark Swindell]

Tom,
You might do something like this to use the appropriate font at  
startup.  You can put it in the stack script.
Mark

on startup
       setFonts --changes font based on Windows or Mac
end startup

on setFonts
   --call from startUp
   if the platform = "MacOS" then
     repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields of cd 1
       set the textFont of field x of cd 1 to Tahoma
     end repeat
   end if
   if the platform = "Win32" then
     repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields of cd 1
       set the textFont of field x of cd 1 to Times
     end repeat
   end if
end setFonts
