Hello!

I have some problems with property profiles in combination with text fonts and sizes.

The idea: I would like to write a cross-platform application using property profiles for any platform-specific differences such as font names and sizes (among others, but the "others" work as expected)

Surprisingly, however, it seems that I can't define a (platform-specific) font (name) for the stack and let all cards and controls inherit this setting if I have to change the font size or style for a specific control (e.g., some controls use the bold-face variant of the standard font, others use the font in a different size)

It always seems as if I could only inherit *all* settings at once (i.e., font name, style and size together) The profile property listings list TextFont/Size/Style and /Height separately, though (which surprises me since I haven't explicitely touched TextHeight myself)

Is that true or is there a special "trick" to achieve the desired functionality?

Thanks in advance for any help!
