I've about driven myself crazy over this one today, but it turns out I think I 
may have found a bug. Either that or very strange expected behavior. So I'm 
wondering if someone wouldn't mind checking this for me to see if the results 
are the same. Should only take a couple minutes.

Create a new stack. Place one field on it. Make the stack, field, and font size 
large enough to read easily on an iPad (or in the simulator). Set the font of 
the field to Arial. In the preOpenCard handler, set the htmlText of the field. 
Something like:

        set the htmlText of fld 1 to "<p>Howdy! How <i>are</i> you today?</p>"

Set the standalone settings for iPad, etc. Launch it in the simulator. Does the 
word "are" appear in italics? It doesn't for me. Should it? The same thing 
works fine in the IDE. But when run in the simulator or on a device the text is 
not styled. I did just try using Helvetica instead of Arial and that seems to 
work okay. Unfortunately, I need Arial and not Helvetica.

Anybody have any suggestions here? This is very nearly a showstopper if it's a 
bug. Really need this to work.

Thanks,
Chris
