Why can't I apply formatting to the strings designating the paths of aliases? Other strings display in my chosen font and colour, but those alias paths are stuck with ugly, utilitarian black Geneva.

If these alias-path-string-things do not come under the heading of Values
(numbers, strings, lists) in the formatting options, then what are they, and
why don't they have their own font and colour options?

Maybe they are a special styled text used as an attempt to display Unicode as trustfully as possible.


As we mention at:
<http://www.satimage-software.com/en/unicode_and_applescript.html>
such "objects" may be dangerous since they "say" they are strings, but there are instances where a command supposed to accept strings won't want them.
