Although I have had my fair share of headaches with TextFormat, I
think I may know what is going on here.
There are two methods for assigning a textFormat to a textField. These
are setTextFormat() and setNewTextFormat().
The way I understand it setTextFormat() sets the style of the text
that is currently assigned to the textField BUT any new text assigned
by actionscript, by replaceSel() or by the user (in the case of input
text) is styled according to the setNewTextFormat() method and if none
is given, as in your class, the new text is given some default style,
which, as you've noticed, is not necessarily the same as the style you
defined by setTextFormat().
so I would try using setNewTextFormat() also and see if that works.
