Thanks Charles, I'll do that if I can't find the command containing the current font, but \begingroup and \endgroup don't nest. My real hope was to implement a stack, push the current font on the stack, set the new font, write the text, then pop the old font off the stack and reset the current font to it. That way I could nest environments and character styles ad-infinitum, and also, it would just be so kewl!
