If you make a script that changes the contents of a TextMorph, something like
	MyText's numeric value increase by 1
the existing TextStyle in the TextMorph is maintained, but the font changes 
disappear (possibly changing the font). This is noticeable if you've changed 
to any font but the smallest in a TextStyle, and makes it hard to use the 
TextMorphs naturally to read out values, etc.

My suggestion is below:
