[JW Lua] Default font of "Miscellaneous" expression category

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

I think you're correct about all your assumptions here.

There's no UI to set the default text expression font anymore, since 
it's been replaced with the category paradigm. And if I create a text 
expression in Finale in the "Miscellaneous" category using the default 
Finale document, the font "Times" will be used.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
