The problem is quite different: and this only became clear when I tested your script inwith my Devawriter Pro
and outwith it in a simpler stack.

The problem is that the text that becomes colourised is then moved intil another field, and then is exported from that field; during the movement from the first field to the second one its styling is lost:

setthetextoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "DEVANAGARI"

setthetextSizeoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextSizeoffld "fRESULT" ofcard "DEVANAGARI"

Presumably (?)  I will need a third line something like this:

setthetextColoroffld "fRESULT" ofcard "ATTIC" tothetextColoroffld "fRESULT" ofcard "DEVANAGARI"

indeed, that is what I am about to try.

How are you trying to export the text? Works alright here with Indy 8.1.4 and 
MacOS 10.13.
Sample script that works for me:

on mouseUp

   ask file "Give your file a name:”

   put "file:" & it into tURL

   if char - 1 to -4 of tURL <> ".rtf" then

     put ".rtf" after tURL

   end if

   put rtfText of field 1 into url tURL

end mouseUp

I like blue cheese . . .

But I don't like what happens when I try to export coloured text from
a field in LC 8.1.4 as the _colours_ are NOT exported.

This is ODD as a while back the colours were exporting . . . .

Mac OS 10.7.8,  LC 8.1.4 Indy.
