Actually, when I first came on board with MetaCard, it behaved the way LiveCode (finally) does now. It was wonderful. But that didn't last very long, and due to some other change I can't remember, text properties were all bound together based on font. I have hated that ever since it happened. I had to rewrite all my stacks. I used to be able to change the text font of a stack and everything would just work, all the text styling remained and only the font changed. After the change I had to store htmltext in a custom property and set the contents of fields according to platform. Ick.
And it stayed "ick" until just recently, when text properties were de-coupled once again. I rejoiced. Free at last! :)
