I am trying to change the font on a field conditionally but can't seem to get it to work. Inside th formula editor (after clicking the X-2 button" I put in the following:
Your current formula is returning a Boolean (True/False). You need to use an IF...THEN...ELSE statement or SELECT...CASE statement to return the appropriate value.
Are you sure that you are setting the Font? When I tried it, it said it was expecting a string for the font, but it worked fine when I used "Courier" and "Times New Roman". Maybe you're trying to set the font size, style, or color. I think that each of these requires a number. CR has some constants defined for some of the colors.
If you are indeed setting the font, you need to be very careful. If you use a font name that is not on the user's computer, you may not get the results that you expect. You should stick to the most common fonts.
