The script works as written and pastes styled text into the field

Hello
I wrote a script passing styled datas from AppleWorks to FileMaker
Pro.
--[SCRIPT]
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
tell document 1
select menu item 7 of menu 3 (* Select All *)
select menu item 4 of menu 3 (* Copy *)
end tell
end tell
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
go to field 1 of last record of document 1
do menu menu item 7 of menu 3 (* Paste *)
end tell -- FileMaker
--[/SCRIPT]
It behaves well on my G5 under 10.4.11
but, on macIntel machines, the fonts aren't passed.
I found a workaround:
I first paste in a TextEdit document
copy from this TextEdit document
then paste in FileMaker.
For the same chunk of text,

Which attributes are passed for you ?
The color is passed
The fonts aren't. In my sample some letters are in Helvetica, two are
in Courier.
The result is: all in Helvetica.
I may add that italic, bold, condensed… are not passed
All these features are passed on PowerPC machines
so, even if you disagree, I think that it is a very bad job from
FileMaker.
