how to? apply same txt format to several fields

[Babaloo]

How can I apply the same txt format do several txt fields? I think I could make a function to declare the format values, but how can I assign those values to different (runtime) fields on the stage?

I'm working on a game screen and want to have the one font across the board (scores, instructions, player name, etc). It would be nice to have some size and color variation, though... :)

Another related question: can I embed a font to be used at runtime?

thanks guys
