I've looked into this a bit further. Even if I set a workspace variable to my 
new TextStyle (which has pointers to the appropriate FormSetFonts), when my 
project gets loaded back in, the TextStyle points to "New York".

OK, so I read the class comment for ImageSegment. It says that what gets 
stored are objects that aren't pointed to by anything outside the project.

I removed the TextConstants entry for my new TextStyle VerdanaZ. I then used 
the inspector to make sure that nothing outside the project was pointing to 
it.

But the TextMorph ended up being changed to New York, again!

Is there something odd happening here?

How can I get a local TextStyle stored and restored with a project?

What other kinds of objects is this going to happen with?
