Jacque:

put char offset("on revFontGetSystemFont", \
  the script of button "revCommon" of stack "revLibrary") to \
  offset("end revFontGetSystemFontSize", \
  the script of button "revCommon" of stack "revLibrary") \
  of the script of button "revCommon" of stack "revLibrary"


note that revCommon is added to every built standalone, therefore building on macos and then checking the effective font in a windows standalone will only show that revcommon works as expected ;)

You probably remember those problems from standalones built with Metacard, where revCommon does not exist.

So now, if you build for Windows and move it to that OS, and a script queries the effective textfont in Windows, I bet it's still "Lucida Grande", even though the field should display in the system font (since there isn't usually a Lucida Grande on Windows.)
