I just looked at this and the htmlText property of the field has the  
font embedded in it:

<p><font face="MS Sans Serif" size="13">Create table Person.</font></p>

So you will want to do what Robert suggested.  One way to do this  
automatically is like this:

on mouseUp pN
     if (pN = 1) then
         put "V4REV Examples"&cr into tStacks
         put substacks of stack "V4REV Examples" &cr after tStacks
         delete last char of tStacks

         repeat for each line tStack in tStacks
             repeat with i = 1 to number of cards of stack tStack
                 repeat with j = 1 to number of fields of card i of  
stack tStack
                     set text of fld j of card i of stack tStack to  
text of fld j of card i of stack tStack
                 end repeat
             end repeat
         end repeat
     end if

     pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
