Well then you are going to have to do a lot of work,
adding the functionality to the face that you want.
For instance, actually showing the text, instead
of simply storing it in the text attribute as you
have done above. There has to be some code in there
that shows the text, otherwise it won't be shown.
I suggest you do this,
pane: make get-style 'label [...]
or whatever style (button, field, title, h1 etc..)
you want to use, or
first make a template face, like this:
template-face: make face [
size: 300x3000
offset: 300000x10000000000
etc etc... fonts, feels etc
]
then you can use it multiple times as above,
pane: make template-face [...]
Note that your code above "works". :)
It's just that it didn't do what you
expected it to!
