I have a neat/nasty problem with Script, to wit: I want to assign fonts
dynamically with a macro, but for some reason I can't get Script to
recognize a font definition done within a macro:

   .dm setfont on
   .df goober type ( bold italic )
   .bf goober (here or outside the macro fails)
   .dm off
   .setfont

For some reason the .df is not properly recognized, and the .bf fails with
'goober' not being recognized. Can anyone tell me how to make this work?
Thanks.
