[?] Why Input style does not respond to stylesheet directives?

Hi All,

After upgrading to ver 11, I thought I would like to keep the bold courier input style. Turns out, I can’t.
After playing around with stylesheets for awhile I found out the following: Text style will respond to the
stylesheet style regarding family, face, size and color. However, Input and Output styles will respond
to the last three attributes when specified by stylesheet, but not to family.

Selected text in a notebook, in any of the three styles mentioned, will respond to any formatting. My system
is Mac Yosemite.

I modified and tested stylesheets from ver 10 and 11. Can someone see the answer to this problem?

The key style setting is

StyleHints->{"CodeFont" -> "Courier"}

You can add it to the "Input" style, or the front end (e.g., SetOptions[$FrontEnd, StyleHints -> {"CodeFont" -> "Courier"}]), or the notebook (e.g., SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], StyleHints -> {"CodeFont" -> "Courier"}]), depending on how localized you want the effect. If added to the front end or notebook, it should change both the input and output fonts (and the "Code" font, too).

Thanks Michael, it’s nice not to have to worry about that one from now on.
