This is a known problem.

Text style cannot be applied to the empty selection.

When user clicks the component, current text style is reset to the style in

the position of caret.

This is a consistent behavior in all cases, with exception of empty lines.

Will be fixed in one of the next updates.

Workaround: add an empty text string with desired font just after clearing:

rve.Clear;

rve.AddNL('',STYLENO,PARANO);

rve.Format;

rve.CurParaStyleNo := PARANO;

rve.CurTextStyleNo := STYLENO;
