Thanks calsign, I've been struggling with this matter for some time now. I know about ControlFont. But what i need is to have a TextField receiving user input with latin characters. And I only got ControlFont to work on captions labels. In Text Fields, it's is giving me squares each time i press "option+n" ( or any other combination) which is mac way for making those characters. After the squares some letters came with the accent, some others no. Have a look as u can see labels are ok, but not the input field. It looks like is more an input thing than a font thing... Below the image, the code. It is just the example for TextField combined with the example for ControlFont.

- * caption label using the style() property of a controller.
