Unwanted font style transfers

Howdy folks...

I'm having a curious issue that I can't seem to get resolved. I'm
grabbing basic file information and loading it into a FileMaker
database. All is well except for the filename. When I transfer the
filename to a cell in FileMaker Pro the font style is different from
all of the rest of the information gathered from the same Finder action.

OS 10.2
FileMaker Pro 6


I'm using the following:

tell application "Finder"
set vfile to (choose file with prompt "Choose an image to import")
set mypath to vfile as string
set mysize to physical size of vfile
end tell
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
create new record
set cell "path" of last record to mypath
set cell "filesize" of last record to mysize
end tell

Both FMP cells are formatted as Helvetica 10 point. Running the script
puts the file size in correctly but the path ends up being placed as
Geneva 12 point. I've tried turning off the Text Drag and Drop feature
in FMP but it doesn't seem to matter.

Any suggestions?
