xTalks have long supported scriptTextFont and sciptTextSize for all
sorts of use cases where displaying things as we're accustomed to seeing
them in our scripts can be useful.
The Message Box is a very good example.
The scriptTextFont and scriptTextSize global properties continued to
work through MetaCard 4.1 using LC engine 6.6.4 (perhaps later, that's
just the more recent MC install I have), and the LC engine v8.1 still
allows those values to be used once the IDE sets them.
Unfortunately, the IDE no longer sets them. Both properties have been
returning empty in the LiveCode IDE for years (possibly since the first
script editor overhaul a decade or so ago), and are currently flagged as
deprecated:

I suppose there's probably some IDE function that could be used for that
instead (provided we hunt deeply enough to find it), but it seems much
simpler to just use what's already in place in the engine for that.
