setting font in TextView fails

[telephon]

(
w = Window.new("Text View Example",Rect(100,Window.screenBounds.height-400, 520,300)).front;
t = TextView(w.asView,Rect(10,10, 500,200))
    .focus(true);
t.setFont (Font("Courier",12), 5, 10);
)

Font is unchanged. w.refreshdoesn't help.

Even odder:

w = Window.new("Text View Example",Rect(100,Window.screenBounds.height-400, 520,300)).front;
t = TextView(w.asView,Rect(10,10, 500,200))
    .focus(true);
t.string = "foobar";
)
t.setFont (Font("Courier",12), 5, 10); // only r changes!!

Also when you set the font, the color is lost and vice versa. So you can either have fonts or colors …

Both OP snippet and muellmusik's are correct behavior --- setFont sets the font of a range of text, in the example cases starting at 5 chars, for a range of 10. Hence the r in the second example, and nothing in the first (no text to change the font of).

This works as expected (i.e. changes base font for the view):
(
w = Window.new("Text View Example",Rect(100,Window.screenBounds.height-400, 520,300)).front;
t = TextView(w.asView,Rect(10,10, 500,200))
.focus(true);
t.font = Font("Helvetica",24)
)

Telephon is right, though - color doesn't seem to work for me. I think the fix is to switch to mergeCharFormat, which will apply the font / color to the format that's already there.
