Yes, it does. Lacking a detailed technical understanding of the
ridiculous complexity of the macOS (or Windows for that matter), is
one reason we used/use HyperCard, SuperCard, MetaCard, Revolution,
LiveCode for the past 25+ years for our app development.
It *SEEMED* like a reasonable attempt at HIG compliance to set the
fonts of our objects to the special names and also *SEEMED* like it
was then reasonable to want to show what font was selected in a menu,
but it is absolutely true that I was assuming that "(Text) became
Segui UI on Windows and Calibri (or whatever) on macOS and NOT
something like .AppleSystemUIFont!
Heh - its been an interesting learning exercise for us both - both
technically and process-wise :)
I would stress here that this is just a reminder where failing to
provide an adequate use-case when asking for something, or indeed
posting a bug report about long-standing behavior which you believe
should be changed is critically important.
The thing is if you focus on a very specific technical detail as being
the problem, and describe it as just that it 'robs' the person reading
of it any context in which to make any sort of judgement from a wider
point of view and perhaps short-circuit digressions into rabbit holes :)
The main thing is that your code is going to be simpler as a result of
this!
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
